Welcome to the American Academy for Girls' Program. Our program consists of PreK, KG1, KG2, and Grade One. The goal of the program is to develop a love of learning. The Early childhood Program has been carefully structured to meet the needs of the individual student. At A.A.G., we recognize that each grows and develops at her own rate. Children are encouraged to build on their own interests and abilities.
In A.A.G.'s Early Childhood Program your child will have the opportunity to build mathematical concepts by manipulating objects and through real life experiences. Mathematics is incorporated into many everyday classroom routines. Concepts will be introduced in small group and whole group lessons. Students will apply what has been introduced through independent work at the math center. This approach to mathematics stresses understanding and concept development, rather that rote memorization and repetitive arithmetic drills.
Our reading and writing program is designed to help young learners grow at their own pace toward literacy and develop self-confidence with respect to reading and writing. Learning letter sounds and enjoying good books are key components in our program. The classrooms are rich in language, emphasizing speaking as well as listening. It is important for each child to build the desire, confidence, and vocabulary to express themselves.
Social Studies, Science and Health are taught throughout the program as they relate to the theme or topic of study. These topics are reinforced through art, stories, games, songs, and poems.
PreK and KG1 students are exposed to spoken Arabic with an emphasis on vocabulary development. KG2 students are introduced to the Arabic alphabet and begin to write. Grade One students begin to read as well as write in Arabic. The Arabic teacher and the classroom teacher work together closely to combine units of study in both languages.
School specialists teach the children physical education and music. Beginning computer skills are taught to KG2 and Grade One students. The specialist art teacher instructs Grade One students in basic art skills.
