Welcome to MySchool International,
Kindergarten is an important stage in the life of every child. At this point, the children learn the basic knowledge which will help them form their characters, tendencies and attitudes. Accordingly, we must work together in order to let our children achieve the best educational level.
Our role in MySchool is to provide the children with the suitable environment to be creative. We also teach them how to read and write, the basics of math, and some handicrafts through classroom activities, music, science or religion classes.
Our teachers do their best to prepare a variety of games, activities and educational corners that help to develop and increase all the children’s skills. Thus, the teacher plays a main role by being the motherlike through good treatment, passion and guidance.
Last but not least, we are pleased to receive all your suggestions and feedback which will be carefully taken into consideration.
Finally, we recommend that every parent reads this guide . We wish your children a bright academic year.

The early years department for children aged 3 to 5 is called the Kindergarten Stage. It is considered to prepare children for an International Curriculum that begins around the age of five years and continues through Primary (ages 5-7) and Middle (ages 7-11).
In the Kindergarten Stage, the child’s progress is closely monitored and assessed against appropriate age performance standards. Every encouragement and help is provided for children to attain their full potential. Focusing on whole-child development, attention is given to assessing the social development, skills, knowledge and understanding that children need to interact efficiently in a complex and changing world. Children in the Early Years are introduced to the foundations of reading, writing, science, mathematics, information and communications technology, and physical/creative development through a system of practical applications, which is strengthened in a positive and stimulating learning environment.
Children learn best when they actively participate in the learning process. Listening, through structured play and a regular programme of field trips form part of the Kindergarten curriculum. Supported by a well-resourced library, ICT facilities, music studio and designated playground, the children in the Early Years are encouraged to explore and develop their natural abilities and talents.
