A major difference between the American curriculum schools in Abu Dhabi and the rest of the world is that, here in the UAE, American schools are required to follow the country’s rules regarding admissions, including student visas.
When it comes to the American curriculum, however, there are a lot of similarities worldwide. One similarity is that these schools encourage students to learn in teams and put an emphasis on extra-curricular activities.
1. Academics
Education is an important part of every child’s life and is also one of the major reasons for parents choosing an American curriculum school instead of one with a different curriculum.
2. Individuality
American schools place a high value on individuality and encourage students to believe in themselves. The best way for educators to foster this sense of individuality is by offering a range of classes and activities where students can discover their specific interests and abilities.
3. Teamwork
As we have already mentioned, teamwork is encouraged at most American schools around the world. This means that students have opportunities to work with each other both inside and outside of class time, which helps them develop their teamwork skills as well as their individual skills.
4. Extra-curricular activities
Students will be encouraged not just to excel academically but also socially through participation in extracurricular activities like sports or music classes (and much more). These activities will help them develop into well-rounded adults who can handle various situations confidently without hesitation
