EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE (EYFS) CURRICULUM

Nestled in the heart of Al Khor, our safe yet stimulating early years school environment is the perfect place for our youngest children to learn, play, and grow. Specialist teachers will get to know how your child learns best, and nurture their personal, social, and emotional development. We also provide a strong academic foundation, ensuring our students hit important EYFS milestones, and are ready to flourish in primary.

OUR EARLY YEARS SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Each of these areas is interconnected, helping our children develop the knowledge, skills, and understanding they need to progress into primary.

At Nord Anglia International School Al Khor, our 3 to 5-year-olds follow the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. At this formative stage in their education, our teachers will carefully guide your child through the seven EYFS areas of learning and development:
  • Communication and language.
  • Physical development.
  • Personal, social, and emotional development.
  • Literacy.
  • Maths.
  • Understanding the world.
  • Expressive arts and design.

LEARNING THROUGH ACTIVE PLAY

In the early years, we encourage learning through active play. We know children learn best when they’re happy, engaged, and motivated, which is why we offer a broad range of experiential activities designed to capture our students’ imaginations.

Your child will get moving in our shaded swimming pool and playground. And they’ll enjoy hands-on experiences – like woodwork, cooking, sewing, dance, and music – which develop an array of skills. A typical day also involves lots of socialising, discussion, and reasoning, alongside storytelling, reading, and simple maths.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CHILD

Our specialist teachers and assistants will build a strong relationship with your child, taking the time to get to know them, their interests, and their emerging talents. They’ll carefully tailor learning to their needs and provide the right level of challenge and support.

In everything they do, our team will encourage your child to be curious, creative, and ambitious, too. We’ll help them to grow in confidence and provide the expert care and attention they need to thrive.
