From its conception to date, the Al Maaref learning community is committed to the mission and core values – Respect, Compassion, Happiness, Resiliency, Tolerance and Responsibility – these values serve as a foundation for the learning experiences that prepare students to successfully navigate their future.

Students at AMPS are now experiencing an American curriculum that embraces STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) education. We are working collaboratively to build students’ critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills.
We follow USA-New York State Standards for all subjects, including the NY Common Core for Mathematics and English. We have also begun the journey of enhancing our curriculum internationally with best practice research through NGSS and Global Scholar international standards. These standards provide our students with a rigorous framework that prepares them for not just school but life (college and career readiness).
Our early years program has begun a transition from traditional to best practices that promote more creativity and independent learners. Young children are guided to acquire social and academic skills through stories, songs, imagination and manipulatives. In upper primary through high school years, students are assessed using the Measure of Academic Progress Test (MAP). MAP assessment provides teachers real-time data as to the individual progress each student is making in reading, math and science. Grades 11 and 12 are exposed to Naviance and other experiences that prepare them with the skills needed to successfully enter a university, a pre-professional program or the world of work. All graduates will earn a U.S. Diploma with accreditation.
