Al Najah Private School is air conditioned and well lit, equipped with wireless internet facilities for administration, staff and students as well as guests. Al Najah Private School’s mission statement is based on teaching every student to the best of his/ her abilities. We have an outstanding record of being the highest scoring school in the UAE in GCE and IGCSE examinations, for the past 5 years (first in Physics worldwide, June 2007, student in the top ten worldwide in AS Biology, June 2008, and on the honors list in 2012) The IB Porgramm was introduced recently and the school is accredited for the IB Diploma. We recruit the best British and internationally qualified and experienced teaching staff. They are assisted by equally enthusiastic support staff. While the majority of the students have Arabic backgrounds, the school is truly multi-national. Classes meet five days a week (Sunday to Thursday) from 08:00 until 14:40 A very interactive after school activities programm is also implemented. P.E. classes and school teams are established. We will achieve this by providing a student centred and diverse international education in a stimulating, safe and supportive environment that promotes excellence and achievement in all aspects of the curriculum, which develops thinking and communication skills, and which prepares students for an evolving and changing world where they achieve their best Our vision and mission ensures that students, staff and parents have a voice in the management of the school which enables the school to build relationships in a progressive educational community with high expectations, integrity and team work which leads to personal/professional growth. Summary of ADEK Inspection The overall performance of Al Najah Private School is acceptable. Key strengths of the school are students’ personal development and the quality of protection, health and safety procedures. Attainment in all core subjects is in line with curriculum standards, and by grades 10 to 12, the majority of students make strong progress. Attainment levels and progress in English language skills develop well throughout the school. There is inconsistency in the quality of teaching and especially in the use of assessment to inform lesson planning in order to challenge and support students of all abilities and to track student progress. Curriculum implementation and adaptation appropriately meet the learning needs of most students. Staff, parents and students are supportive of the school’s aims and strategic direction. School self-evaluation appropriately involves all staff, is largely accurate, and guides priorities for improvement. Professional development is regular and has a positive impact on the quality of learning.
