Dear Ajial Bilingual School Family Members,
We wish to welcome everyone to the new academic year of 2022-2023 with an upbeat message about our vision for a brighter future, Inshallah.
We have grown up as a school and in particular, the High School Department with the final additions of the Humanities programs that now offer a balance of choice to our students in Sciences and Arts.
The addition of the Business Studies including Intro to Business, Business Studies, Economics, Business Math and Personal Finance, Statistics, Psychology, Sociology, Spanish, IT with Media Studies, Coding, Art History and Theory, Physical Education with Nutrition and Health Sciences provide a variety of choices for students to earn credits towards their GPA. These courses are available to both student groups to allow development that rounds out student experiences and broadens their skills and thinking.
The School has updated texts for English Language to the National Geographic Cengage Series now from KG2 – Grade 12 over the period of online teaching for English Language. The series offer international topics that include world cultures and religions based on the Common Core Standards. The addition of new texts for Math this year in the MHS will optimize learning using the most current formats and applications. New library books for research, reference, and reading for pleasure will arrive soon. The addition of IXL and extension of use through the Middle School has been made to offer online support and practice for students.
Returning students, parents, and staff will notice physical changes made over the summer. We have begun a series of updates and improvements which are expected to continue over this year. We are excited about the facelift that offers a bright and welcoming environment to all. Many other upgrades are being made that may not be readily seen, but they will improve safety and function as well.
We look forward to a more traditional school year, but we will remain vigilant regarding the continued issue of pandemic threat and the start of the year will see many safety measures implemented into the first month back. Again, we will follow whatever Ministry or Health and Ministry of Education prescribe.
Again, we are excited to greet our students in person and see their smiles and how they’ve grown over the summer months.
Best wishes for a safe, healthy, and successful school year to all.
