We are convinced that every human being is valuable and deserves the opportunity for self-realization and self-fulfillment.

We aim to work together to provide all students with a caring environment in which learning, cooperation, self-esteem and success are valued and encouraged, thus enabling children to achieve their maximum development potential.

We are committed to helping learners acquire and use knowledge, communicate effectively, and become responsible and respectful active individuals in their community, prepared to meet the challenges of the future.

We challenge our students to take personal responsibility for their education and to apply their learning to a diverse and changing world.

N4B initiative

In Gr.11 ? 12, where the Notebooks 4 Books (N4B) environment is deployed, the technology is advanced. All high school classrooms are N4B equipped, which are structured to allow the use of notebook computers in the place of traditional books in the high school. This gives students immense access to resources with the teachers' supervision.

Al Mawakeb Schools had also launched AMS-online on Sept23rd, 2000 which provides a link with our parents. This service also continues to enhance our admin-parents communication efficiency.
