About Us
ALSHARQYIA SCHOOL
The journey of AlSharqyia School had begun in the year 2011 having the enrolls of merely 4 students. The institution got an approval from the Ministry of Education to run it in British Curriculum from grades 1-3, it was a humble beginning that led the institution out to have more learners to cater. Having a passion in teaching and dedicated educators, the number of students grew, from its primary level until it reached to senior level. now the school has a total population of six hundred plus students in all levels.
We strive to provide an environment that is basically sacred, and has a framework of discipline that is flexible yet supportive, a freedom that allows students to learn even from their mistakes, to develop into person molded by the correlatives of freedom and responsibility. The developmentally appropriate curriculum for young children provides all the areas of a child’s development; physical, social, emotional and cognitive.
AlSharqyia follows a process-oriented way of teaching wherein the teachers provide children opportunities to explore wide variety of materials. The child’s enjoyment and learning through these explorations are given more importance than the final product or outcome.
Parental involvement in a child’s education process is both a gift to your child and a gift to the school. This partnership is strongly encouraged and highly valued at AlSharqyia
The practical experience of learning enables our children to leave our school daily with either something in their hand, something in their mind and especially something in their heart.
قـصّـة نـجـاح
إذا لم يرسُم القدر طريقك، فأرسمه بنفسك
في كلّ تربة فشل تنبت بذور من نجاح، كما في كلّ تربة نجاح تنبت بذور من فشل
كـنـتُ ضابطًا إلاّ إنّ الأقدار وضعـتـني أمام طرق وَعِرة فمهّـدتُها بالإرادة فـأصبحت سالكة
المُميّزين فقط من النّاس هم الّذين يُحوّلون مسيرة أقدارهم بل ويُحافظون على نجاحهم بالجدّ والمثابرة
المدرسة الشّرقيّة مشروع بدأت به بدون أن أعرف دهاليز وأسرار المدارس الخاصّة، فكانت البداية كارِثيّة كادت أن تقضي على حلمٍ واعدٍ يُخلّد مسيرتي في الحياة
قل ما شِئت، أهو الـحسد الّذي لا مفرّ منه أم سوء الـطّالع أم هي الجمرة الكاوية في بداية كلّ مشروع أم اجتمعت كُلّها على جبهة واحدة لِتُحارب عسكري صقلته تجارب الحياة فحاربها دون هوادة
“ يقول نابليون بونابرت ” إمّا أن يكون الفشل بداية النّجاح أو نهاية الرّجل
كان طعم الـنّجاح والـتّميّز والإبداع للـمدرسة الـشّرقيّة هو الـسّمة الـظّاهرة للنّاس، إنّما الإحباطات وهمس الشّامتين والمُتربّصين هو الألم والمعاناة الّتي جعلتني أرسم طريق القدر بعد أن عاكستني الأقدار هاهي المدرسة الشّرقية الخاصّة تأخذ مكانها الآن في الطّليعة بين المدارس ذات التّميّز، فالكُلّ يُشير الى هذه المدرسة بالبِنان
فحين حقّقنا الأهداف صمتت أفواه الـشّامتين وارتفعت أكُفّ الـمحبّين يدعون لنا بالـتّوفيق والـنّجاح، وهكذا بدأت رحلة المليون ميل بِحلوها ومُرّها

For learners to construct knowledge, they need the avenues to discover themselves, and practice skills in authentic opportunities.
RELEVANT CURRICULUM
Learners need to study things that are meaningful, purposeful and applicable to their lives and of their interests.
COLLABORATION
Open shared ideas and democratic approach to discipline are integral in developing a deep love and respect for learners, and their environment.
FREE EXPRESSION
Learners need to be heard logically, in an environment where they are free to express themselves and where individuals are tolerant and sensitive towards others.
CONTINUOUS LEARNING
Learning is a never-ending process and is not limited to the four corners of the classroom.
