Secondary School Curriculum & Assessments
Preparing for success, one milestone at a time.
The Ta’allum Secondary curriculum, based on the National Curriculum for England and Wales, is carefully constructed to support our students to achieve success. Success as learners, success as leaders and success as global citizens.
With an ethos firmly founded within Qatari and Islamic values, Ta’allum’s broad and balanced Secondary curriculum reflects the very best of English and Arabic practice to ensure well-rounded provision for all – moral, personal and academic. The Secondary curriculum plan is rigorously standardised to support both Ta’allum and MOE criteria but also differentiated to meet the needs of every student and equip them with the learning they need to achieve their best and to reach their goals, whether that be as an engineer, a scientist, a business owner or any other career they are aiming to accomplish. With the Secondary Curriculum, each student can discover their strengths and their passions, their creativity and their independence.
The Ta’allum Secondary Curriculum promotes a culture of positivity and high expectations of all; everyone within our learning community, including teachers and parents, is expected to be student-centred and support students’ intellectual, emotional and cultural growth. We utilise the specialist subject skills of staff to enhance the learning experience and maximise the learning outcomes; academic data is used as a tool for progression and individual development whilst the pastoral programme compliments a holistic approach.
