HISTORY OF ALDAR ACADEMIES
From the opening of the first school, Pearl British Academy in 2007, Aldar Academies has fast grown into a leading provider of private education across a network of seven Academies and one Nursery.
Aldar Academies continues to work towards its promise of ‘delivering the highest standards of education and inspiring a love of learning’, with plans to grow its current schools and build new ones which will expand its student capacity to over 14,000 in the coming years.
To date, Aldar Academies have invested more than Dh450 million in Abu Dhabi’s education sector as part of its commitment to the UAE’s 2030 vision. We see this as a long-term investment and will continue to invest in this sector as we expand.
OUR CURRICULUM
THE ENGLISH NATIONAL CURRICULUM
The English National Curriculum is among the most in-demand study options in the world, respected for its high academic standards and focus on developing confidence and individual thinking. The learning pathway is delivered through enquiry or ‘project-based learning’, a method of teaching which inspires a love of learning and deepens a student’s knowledge by challenging them to complete real-world tasks.
THE AMERICAN MASSACHUSETTS STATE CURRICULUM
The American Massachusetts State Curriculum is the most highly regarded of all study programmes in the United States. With close ties to prestigious universities such as Harvard and MIT, it stands above other curricula for its rigorous, comprehensive and forward-thinking design. It’s also considered to be more demanding – and therefore rewarding – than the American Common Core Curriculum.
THE INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE PRIMARY YEARS PROGRAMME (PYP)
The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) for children aged 3 – 12 nurtures and develops young students as caring, active participants in a lifelong journey of learning. Through its inquiry-led, transdisciplinary framework, the PYP challenges students to think for themselves and take responsibility for their learning as they explore local and global issues and opportunities in real-life contexts.
INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE DIPLOMA PROGRAMME (IB DP)
The International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) is for students aged 16-19. The IB DP is an international recognised and highly regarded Programme of study. Students at Bateen World Academy consistently achieve above word average points when they achieve their full IB DP. Research suggests that there are many benefits to choosing the Diploma Programme (DP).
