Elementary at Al Yasat: Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow

At Al Yasat Private School, our Elementary program provides a rich, engaging, and future-focused learning experience for students in Grades 1 to 5. We empower students to become confident thinkers, skilled communicators, and responsible global citizens—well-prepared for middle school, high school and beyond.

Students follow a rigorous academic curriculum aligned with the US Common Core State Standards and the UAE Ministry of Education (MoE) framework. Core subjects include English, Mathematics, Science, Arabic, Islamic Education, and Social Studies. Our program also offers specialist instruction in Music, Art, and Physical Education, delivered by dedicated subject teachers.

We place a strong emphasis on literacy and reading development, supported by a structured and rigorous reading program. 

Students are regularly assessed using MAP Growth Testing, Arabic and Islamic Benchmark Testing, which helps us track individual progress, identify areas for support or extension, and ensure that each learner meets and exceeds expected growth targets.

Innovation, Integration & Real-World Connections

Learning in the elementary years is designed to be active, meaningful, and connected to the real world. We incorporate Project-Based Learning to help students explore big ideas, collaborate with peers, and solve authentic problems. These projects often align with the UAE National Agenda and the vision of the UAE’s leaders, encouraging learners to think critically about sustainability, innovation, and their role in shaping the future.

To ensure students are equipped for tomorrow's challenges, we offer a dedicated curriculum in Coding and Robotics. Students use platforms such as Scratch, Osmo, and Lego Robotics to develop computational thinking and creativity. In addition, AI integration is woven across subjects, exposing students to emerging technologies in a purposeful and age-appropriate way.

Enrichment, Identity & Opportunity

We nurture the whole child through a wide range of extended learning opportunities that include extracurricular activities (ECAs), academic competitions, school productions, and presentations. These experiences help students build confidence, leadership, and a strong sense of identity and pride in their achievements.

Arabic language and Emirati culture are celebrated throughout the curriculum and school life. Students participate in heritage projects, cultural days, and language-based learning activities that promote appreciation and understanding of the UAE’s traditions and values.

Every child is challenged and supported through differentiated instruction, enrichment opportunities, and stretch-and-challenge activities that develop independence and a growth mindset. As they progress through the elementary years, students are given increasing responsibilities and leadership roles that help prepare them for a successful transition to middle school and beyond.

At Al Yasat, learning in Grades 1 to 5 is a journey of discovery, development, and direction—where students are encouraged to think deeply, act kindly, and dream big.
