Education is a step towards the future. We aim

our students' scheme of thinking and interaction.
Our main objectives are:
1: To teach the fundamental
processes that lead to academic excellence in
all aspects of the Academy's program by:
- Placing emphasis on understanding and discovery
rather than on memorization of factual information

and curiosity, thus encouraging self-education

when possible and maintaining a climate that
encourages freedom of thought while stressing
personal responsibility
2: To develop an appreciation
of the Arab cultural heritage and to encourage
an appreciation of other cultures by:

through cultural studies

a spirit of good fellowship and international
understanding through formal instruction, recreational
and cultural activities

conflicts of different cultures positively and
objectively
3: To develop critical thinking
by:
- Training the students to predict, compare
and contrast, see beyond the words and analyze

the weighing of advantages and disadvantages

and emphasizing the importance of always moving
from easy to more difficult questions

4: To develop a link in education
by:

6: To encourage constructive
use of leisure time by:

to the Academy and the community

by providing the facilities and opportunities
for enhancement through sports, arts and crafts,
