Bedayia Philosophy

At Bedayia we believe in building a balanced, open minded personality with deep traditions and a solid religious foundation.Our children are exposed to an international curriculum that focuses on building their language skills in parallel with their personality. We strive to help our children to be proud of their culture and develop them into individuals who value education, and are active in their community.

Curriculum

A tailored American curriculum offering diverse activities to meet different individual needs and learning styles.This curriculum in English, Math, Science and Social Studies offers a variety of topics and experiences to help the students acquire language through fun hands on activities, stories and practice.

The Jolly Phonics Program

The Jolly Phonics program has proven a world wide success in helping students to blend sounds and read words at an early age.This program introduces all 42 sounds of the English language in a fun, enjoyable and easy way.Each sound is presented to the children with an action and a rhyme that enables them to remember the sound.According to this program, sounds will be presented in a different sequence to encourage students to practice sounding out and reading 3 letter words and then gradually move on to more complex words.At a later stage, we will introduce the High Frequency Words, to help students move into reading simple sentences.

Reading Curriculum and Library Sessions Once students are familiar with sounds and

decoding , they will be introduced to the reading curriculum. They will be encouraged to read from a selection of reading books suitable for their level to increase their confidence.KG2 students enjoy 2 library sessions every week to borrow books to share with their families at home.

Throughout the day, children enjoy a mixture of English, Arabic, Religion, Art and PE sessions.

Character Building
