The extended school day that operates in the Prep and Senior Schools means we can offer an electives programme at our iconic Mesaimeer Campus. This innovative programme of modular options, completely unique to Qatar, forms a key component of our curriculum for Prep and Senior School pupils. The Electives programme contains a wide range of studies and life skills that are valuable and form part of a great education. Pupils in Years 3 and above spend 40 minutes, four days per week, in their chosen electives, which rotate every half-term.
Pupils can choose something new, or they may prefer to develop an existing interest. The electives programme gives pupils the ability to choose what they learn without the pressure of it forming part of an assessed or examined curriculum.
Whilst the electives available vary over time, examples include starting a new language from scratch, an art-related elective in clay modelling, a programme of entrepreneurship, photography, stop frame animation, film appreciation or forensic psychology.
Over time, the electives programme encourages and enables pupils to become involved in community outreach activities, allowing them to make a positive local difference in the lives of others.
