In addition to a wide range of subjects taught by high-quality professional teachers, WSO courses also offer innovative curriculum design, focusing on providing a rich learning environment and resources, and developing students' learning skills and abilities
Curriculum System - Nursery Stage
The school combines the Early Foundation Stage Curriculum (EYFS) in the UK with the Reggio Emilia method to provide children with a comprehensive learning experience. We follow a child centered approach, viewing children from a holistic perspective, and making their needs, interests, and learning styles the core of our teaching.
A favorable learning environment
The learning experience will be integrated into indoor, outdoor, and sensory exploration areas. Provide children with a space for exploration, creation, and participation, while also providing rich sensory experiences.
Self expression
Respect children's personal interests, actively respond to their choices, and encourage them to transform their ideas into multiple perspectives.
Relax the mind
Children will develop skills in mindfulness, regulate their thoughts and feelings, enhance their adaptability, and provide strategies to control their feelings and behaviors.
A healthy body
Dance, yoga, motor skills, and water exploration can cultivate children's fine and unified motor skills, as well as independence and self-expression abilities. Children will understand the importance of caring about fitness and health.
Growth in the game
Practicing real-life scenarios and activities, cultivating independence, self-awareness, and confidence, children participate in everything from cooking to daily challenges, as well as other elements of the adult world.
Entering nature
Understand the natural environment and its sustainability, learn and appreciate life and its cycles.
Language learning period
In early childhood, the language center system of the brain grows rapidly, cultivating children's language and cultural knowledge in English, Arabic, and French through participation and active language courses.
Curriculum System - Basic Stage
The basic stage follows the early basic stage curriculum in the UK, laying a solid foundation for each child's WSO learning journey. The EYFS course is divided into seven areas of learning and development.
These fields are crucial for stimulating children's curiosity about the world around them, cultivating their learning abilities, establishing positive interpersonal relationships, and thriving in their early years. Specifically, it involves literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressing art and design, cultivating the basic skills and knowledge that students need to learn from primary school to higher grades.
The teaching method in this stage is based on three characteristics of effective learning: play and exploration, active learning, creativity, and critical thinking. Teachers create an inspiring, creative, and fun classroom environment where children learn through games and child led experiences. Children truly love learning and have a passion for it. Teachers carefully plan and prepare activities that can inspire and inspire children to participate. Through personalized learning, each child can make rapid progress in seven learning areas. Children also have abundant opportunities to develop a range of skills in professional courses, including Arabic, French, performing arts, sports, and outdoor learning. In addition, the school will organize various activities to guide children to perceive, learn, and appreciate the diverse cultures within the school and the local culture of the United Arab Emirates.
In addition, the school's "Little Falcon Program" provides free after-school care services.
Curriculum System - Primary School Stage
The school carefully designs learning activities to provide students with a unique learning experience, requiring them to actively participate through problem-solving, collaboration, and higher-order thinking; Cultivate independent and resilient learners who can learn independently, maintain curiosity, and be responsible. Cultivate children's enthusiasm and curiosity for learning and personal growth, and cultivate their enthusiasm for learning. We no longer focus on the question of "What do our students need to know to succeed in the future?", but on "What kind of people do our students need to become?".
The national curriculum for primary schools in the UK is divided into two key stages: Key Stage 1 (first and second years) and Key Stage 2 (third, fourth, fifth, and sixth years).
The WSO curriculum integrates the UK national curriculum and the UAE Ministry of Education curriculum, allowing students to establish connections between different concepts, subject areas, and previous learning experiences. The core courses in primary school include English, mathematics, science, Arabic (expert), Arabic B (expert), Islam (expert), social research, and moral education. The core subjects form the foundation of all other subjects and are subject to more formal evaluations every year. Additional subjects place greater emphasis on the practicality of learning, emphasizing students' independent exploration. Through projects, knowledge and practice are combined and applied to daily life. Additional subjects include Geography, History, Design and Technology, Art and Design, Computing, Sports (Specialized), Performing Arts (Specialized), Outdoor Learning (Expert), and MFL (Expert). In addition to basic courses, the school also provides comprehensive and diverse extracurricular activities to promote the comprehensive development of students.
Curriculum System - Middle School Stage
Every child's story is worth investing energy and resources into. The school provides students with a wide and balanced curriculum, enabling them to adapt to life outside the campus in the 21st century.
The school is committed to increasing children's knowledge, skills, experience, and imagination, thereby increasing their understanding and identification with moral values, improving their ability to discover joy in life, gaining as much independence as possible, and becoming active participants and responsible contributors to society. And the education provided by the school can ensure admission to higher education or employment after the age of 16.
The school firmly believes that learning is related, interconnected, collaborative, independent, constantly innovative, continuously evaluated, and combined with moral education and sports. The curriculum is not only about imparting knowledge, but also encourages our students to develop their learning abilities and solve problems on their own. The school encourages and cultivates independent, curious, and resilient young thinking, and cultivates students to become eloquent, knowledgeable, and responsible global citizens.
The middle school stage includes key stages 3 for grades 7 and 8, and key stages 4 for grades 9-11.

Curriculum System - After the Age of 16
The school continues to provide more Post-16 pathways. Students can not only choose from the following four "traditional" approaches: IBDP, IBCP, BTEC, or A-Level, but also have the opportunity to independently choose combinations, choose their own future, and meet their needs and desires in rigor, balance, and academic aspects. For example, a creative media student is learning BTEC media, IB visual arts, and A-level photography.
Students also have the opportunity to achieve comprehensive development and practice happiness and self-awareness through the school's carefully designed GroWell program. The GroWell project provides students with the opportunity to develop their personal and interpersonal skills, and is also the initial pathway for students to start college applications.
