What to expect
LISG believes the elementary years are critical in building a strong foundation of learning for students. Our teachers emphasize literacy and numeracy skills using student-centered learning approaches so that our girls take ownership of their learning. A strong emphasis on literacy is promoted through reading, writing, and speaking in both English and Arabic classes to help our students develop proficiency in comprehension and communication. Students participate in a variety of assessments and activities which enables us to measure their progress and better guide our practices. At LISG, we thrive to provide a learning environment that promotes a love for learning for all.
“Through the application of Edtech, we aim to make the access to learning anytime and anywhere possible.”
At LISG, we recognize that in today’s interconnected and technology-centric world, the learning environment can be virtual, online, remote as well as the physical place of learning such as a classroom or library. Through the application of Edtech, we aim to make the access to learning anytime and anywhere possible.
Developing students’ critical thinking and social engagement with Edtech is an essential ingredient to modern pedagogy.
The Liwa Education E-Learning portal is designed to support parents, students, and teachers to make effective use of the online learning opportunities within our schools to support achievement and engagement across all our subject areas.
We encourage you to take the time to understand more about the products and applications on offer and how they can be used to support anytime, anywhere learning and engagement.

Beyond the classrooms
Our girls are learning even outside our classrooms. We offer academic and non-academic extracurricular activities throughout the year and run several school-wide events. Our girls participate in international awareness days, assemblies, workshops, and field trips. We have an active student council that encourages our girls to take on leadership roles so that they may be active members of the wider community.
Our values
The core values that sit at the heart of the school and will be modeled by staff and promoted in the students through our teaching, learning and everyday practice are:
Respect
Integrity
Innovation
Commitment
Confidence
Pastoral care
LISG offers comprehensive pastoral care. Our girls are supported by our class teachers, teaching assistants, section supervisors, and the leadership team at LISG. From the moment they arrive at school in the morning to parent collection time, our students’ happiness and safety are at the heart of everything we do. Attendance is monitored very closely and parents are contacted by the Social worker if there are any concerns. Equally, if parents have any concerns with their children, they can contact the school and arrange to meet with the class teacher, supported by the social worker or a member of the Senior Leadership Team.
Wraparound care
We have two full-time social workers that can provide social counseling. We have an SEN department that can provide academic and social support.
Our teachers
At LISG we hire teachers with education, experience, and a passion for education. Each class consists of a teacher and a teaching assistant which partner together to provide a robust learning environment for our students. Our diverse team brings their expertise and innovative ideas to the school from all over the world. Our team is constantly engaged in developing and improving by participating in learning opportunities throughout the year.
Transition to secondary school
We believe that the transition from the Elementary Section to Middle School is an exciting time for the students. They can expect to gain new friendships, more independence, and experience a broad range of new activities. Our role is to prepare them by empowering their self-esteem, and confidence and making them familiar with their new routines and responsibilities. We work in partnership with our Middle School colleagues to provide transition activities that enable the students to feel safe and ready for this next step. These involve visits and meetings with Middle School staff in preparation for the start of the academic year.
