CURRICULUM

The intent is to deliver a fully Accredited and Authorized International curriculum. The International pathway will be based on the US curriculum’s Common Core Standards and will be offered initially at the point of entry in KG - Grade 3. In terms of this curriculum, full compliance will be undertaken with the MOE requirements for the National identity subjects; Islamic, Arabic Language and Social Studies. Curriculum expectations for the other subjects will be respectively aligned to those of the US Common Core standards. It is this holistic approach to learning as previously articulated, that will make the TPS US Diploma experience special and indeed moving forward, our graduates so appealing to KSA and US Colleges and Universities.

VALUES, CULTURE AND HERITAGE

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is home to a rich cultural heritage that has been strongly influenced by its unique environment. The country has undergone an extraordinary metamorphosis since the state was established in 1932. However, there is also a belief that the history, culture, values and traditions of past generations are the foundations on which the modern state is now built.

Therefore, to be founded in its DNA, the TPS US Diploma’s point of difference will be that the school celebrates and promotes the Kingdom’s National Values, Culture and Heritage through a carefully formulated and collaboratively driven education plan that is underpinned by a robust and contextualized School Charter. The US Diploma curriculum will be designed to celebrate this fundamental difference and immerse our ‘International TPS children’ in valid content that is characterized by its strength and integrity, which will be delivered by Teachers who have the capacity to instruct both explicitly and creatively within the TPS International classroom environment.
