What to expect
In middle school, grades 5 through 8, we expect your student to continue learning in a fun, engaging environment where collaboration and problem-solving are a part of each lesson. Assessment is used to meet better the needs of each learner based on learning styles, cognitive strengths, and areas for development. At high school, grades 9 through 12, expect robust learning that is personalized so that learners are college and career ready when they leave LISG. Students are offered courses where 21st-century skills are embedded in their learning. We offer General AP and Elite track courses to ensure all our students can access top class universities both at home in UAE and around the world. After school support classes are available for AP and EMSAT preparation.
We aim to develop well-rounded students equipped with the content knowledge and 21st-century skills to succeed in their post-school journeys. Lessons are delivered by subject specialists who are guided and assisted by our school middle and senior leadership teams and Liwa Education Academic Leads. Our Liwa Education curriculum is aligned with the California Common Core Standards. It includes the core and subject competencies of Math, Science, English, Social Studies, IT, Art, and PE. High School students can take Elective courses, such as Computer Science, Media, Art, Health and Wellness, and Business. MoE subjects which are Arabic, Islamic Studies, and Arabic Civics follow the MOE guidelines and standards. Our curriculum explores opportunities to develop and solidify our students’ understanding of the Emirati national identity, Liwa Education Core and subject Competencies, and innovative skills and practice.
Individual learning is supported by meeting the needs of all students, providing comprehensive feedback for students to act on, and the delivery of best teaching practices.
“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.

Frequently asked questions
We provide digital textbooks as we are a digital campus. Students are provided with devices to access textbooks online.
We keep an even balance and spread it out over the week. Students have sufficient deadlines for returning homework. Core subjects are on a weekly basis.
Students participate in multiple assessments including MAP, CAT4, and baseline assessments in core subject areas. Assessment data is used to determine the student’s strengths and next steps for progress as well as learning preferences so that teachers can set individual targets for students. Assessment data is further used to determine what support is needed to help students make those targets. Throughout the year, assessments are used to set specific growth targets and next steps for students.
By middle and high school, we want students to be independent in their learning. Provide a quiet place for them to study and have them set a timer for homework time. Ensure that your child is reading for 20 to 30 minutes each night. And when academic issues arrive, reach out to your child’s teacher.
Please contact your child’s teacher first so that she can address your concerns whether they be academic or behavioral concerns. You and your child’s teacher are a team working together towards the progress of your child.
Marks are a reflection of attainment and progress at LISG. Expect marks and feedback to reflect the attainment level and the progress towards their targeted goals in each of their subjects.
Each year teachers look closely at rosters to determine the best placements for learners based on their learning needs. We encourage students to make new friends each year and for parents to support us in teaching students that change is a process that helps each of us grow as individuals.
We want parents to be an integral part of the team as students choose their high school track. Teachers will advise parents on pre-requisite skills that will help the student be successful in our Advanced Track and suggest further supports a student may need if he/she does not meet the prerequisite requirements.
