The school is an integral part of society/ community, so Bright Minds International School seeks to involve all members of the community in the educational process, which has been proven to help raise the academic and interactive level of the child and the family. The relationships we build with the school community of parents, entrepreneurs, specialists, inventors, thinkers, institutions and centres; helps to achieve goals, to converge points of view, and to spread awareness of many local and global issues. These relationships are relationships of understanding between the school and the community so that there is effective mutual assistance that serves the school’s societal goals as well as the local community. In addition, all members of the society are aware of the policies, activities, and challenges facing everyone.
School initiatives
Our school adopts the principle/concept of initiative from students so that they seek to experiment with different interests and learn outside the curriculum, starting from the kindergarten level until the third grade. Our students seek to apply what they have learned by bringing to life community and global initiatives in order to make the world a better place. These initiatives stem from the students themselves and our team supports them by providing the necessary assistance to make their projects a success.
Our students have contributed to many initiatives to serve the community, including:
- Orphan sponsorship
- Ramadan baskets
- Environmental projects for recycling and water conservation.
- Awareness campaigns, which include awareness of sustainable resources, awareness of good citizenship, awareness of the Mawakeb Association (a local center that helps to recycle discarded items)
Social skills:
We encourage students to participate in collaborative work that goes beyond the academic
subjects, in which they apply the skills of research, questioning and exploration, and thus they can solve real problems they face. Students excel in social skills while serving their community, and these skills are summarized in the following::
- Their self-confidence and sense of empowerment that transcends social relationships into their academic pursuits
- They learn problem-solving, teamwork, following instructions ina better way
- Students meet new people and strengthen their ties to the community
- They develop a sense of responsibility and that they will be responsible for great accomplishments.
- Children feel proud when they see the result of their community work and how it has helped others
- Students learn basic leadership skills which achieve the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
- Students build with their society positive environment and future.
Parents' initiatives
The partnership between Bright Minds International school and the students’ parents helps them develop successful personalities. This partnership provides students with more opportunities to learn and grow with a greater range of perspectives and life experiences. Through constant communication and cooperation, educators and teachers create important opportunities for students to develop social, emotional and academic skills in the belief that parents’ initiative in the school community in an interactive manner makes the difference.
