 Mission

Advanced Learning Schools provides students with an opportunity to acquire and demonstrate knowledge, appreciation and respect for their own cultural heritage, integrated with an understanding of, curiosity about, and compassion and tolerance towards other cultures of the world. It provides an environment that encourages moral development, active and independent learning, analytical thinking, life-long learning, respect for individual differences and sensitivity to the moral, social and environmental requirements of the global community.

ALS provides an environment that fosters understanding, independence, interdependence and cooperation.

Within that context we believe that:

ALS students appreciate:

• Arabic culture, language and literature;

• developing personal values while appreciating the values of others;

• valuing one’s own culture while understanding and demonstrating respect for the culture of others; and

• understanding multiculturalism within a global society.

ALS is a caring community that encourages students by example to:

• share, cooperate and contribute responsibly to a global society;

• develop sensitivity to appropriate work and social relationships consistent with the principle of equal rights, including gender equality;

• display sound decision-making skills by reflecting on choices and consequences;

• lead a positive, healthy life;

• care for others as they would have others care for them;

• share resources; and

• build understanding and trust.

ALS students strive for academic excellence by:

• learning how to learn and discovering the joy of learning;

• attaining depth and breadth of academic knowledge and understanding;

• acquiring skills that support intellectual Endeavour and academic success;

• acquiring aesthetic appreciation;

• understanding modern technologies and using them wisely and effectively; and

• acquiring the academic skills and knowledge required to gain entrance to and success at competitive local and international universities.

ALS students benefit from an international education whereby they:

• gain historic and contemporary knowledge and understanding of the world through intellectual Endeavour;

• acquire international understanding by studying and experiencing other cultures while, at the same time, acquiring knowledge of, and appreciation for, their own cultural heritage; and

• maintain the fluency of their mother tongue while valuing the acquisition of other languages.

ALS students are committed to the spirit of internationalism by:

• demonstrating respect for human rights and for the principle of equal rights, irrespective of race or gender;

• practising tolerance and living together in peace and developing skills for the peaceful resolution of conflict;

• understanding their individual responsibilities within society and the relationship between rights and responsibilities; and

• providing leadership that demonstrates an awareness of ethical and moral issues.
