Our Curriculum Overview

A Commitment to Excellence

Al Sahafa School aims at offering all our students a broad and balanced curriculum that provides rewarding and stimulating activities to prepare them for the best social and cultural life.

Whether it is our books or hands-on training, we make sure each student gets personal attention to cope up and flourish in every subject for better scores and a brighter future.

MYP School

Al Sahafa International School is now a school for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) — a key step toward becoming an IB World School.

The IB is a prestigious global framework that offers more than academics — it’s a global approach to education that nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, and compassion, preparing students not just for exams, but for life.

Through this globally renowned programme, we empower students with the mindset and skills to lead with confidence, think creatively, and make a meaningful impact.

SAT / ACT

At Al Sahafa International School, our high school curriculum is designed to align with Common Core Standards, equipping students with the critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and problem-solving skills needed for success on the SAT exam. Through intentional scaffolding within the curriculum, students become familiar with exam-style questioning and build the confidence to excel.

Our students consistently achieve outstanding scores, supported by targeted preparation and access to on-campus testing, as Al Sahafa International School is an official SAT Testing Center (Center #52537). This allows students to take the exam in a familiar and supportive environment.
