Learners Today, Leaders Tomorrow
A purposeful bridge between the foundations of Primary School and the independence of IGCSE study — where curiosity, confidence and independence grow together.
Across the Middle and High School, we guide students through one connected journey — from the curiosity and discovery of Key Stage 3 to the focus and independence of IGCSE, International A Levels and the IB Diploma Programme.
At ANPS, students are encouraged to aim high while remaining grounded in the values of respect, responsibility, integrity and ambition. With the support of experienced teachers, attentive class advisors, career guidance and close communication with families, we help every student settle, flourish and prepare for the next stage of their journey.
We are proud of our students, proud of their progress and proud of the young people they are becoming.
Middle School at ANPS is a purposeful bridge between the foundations of Primary School and the increasing independence of IGCSE study. Across Years 7–9, students follow a broad, KS3-aligned programme that strengthens core knowledge while encouraging curiosity, creativity, practical problem-solving and confident communication.
These are important years of discovery. Students begin to recognise their strengths, explore a wide range of subjects and develop the learning habits they will need for Year 10 and beyond. Through structured teaching, practical experiences and close pastoral support, we help students become more organised, reflective and responsible without losing the enthusiasm that makes learning meaningful.
The Middle School curriculum is deliberately broad. It gives students opportunities to think in different ways, communicate across languages, investigate scientific questions, design and build, create, perform, collaborate and stay active.
English, Arabic and French develop reading, writing, speaking, listening and cultural understanding. Students learn to communicate with accuracy, confidence and purpose across three languages.
Students develop fluency, logical reasoning and problem-solving, progressing from secure foundations towards the analytical demands of IGCSE Mathematics.
Integrated science builds curiosity through investigation, experimentation and evidence. STEM learning connects science, mathematics, engineering and design through practical challenges.
Students develop digital literacy, computational thinking, coding and responsible technology use. Robotics and design challenges turn ideas into working solutions.
Social Studies and related humanities subjects help students understand people, places, history, citizenship and the changing world around them.
Visual arts, performance, design and creative projects allow students to experiment, express ideas and develop confidence in presenting their work.
Students deepen their understanding of faith, ethics, responsibility and the values that shape positive choices and respectful relationships.
Sport, fitness and health education support teamwork, resilience, self-discipline and lifelong wellbeing.
Middle School learning is not limited to textbooks. Students investigate in laboratories, build and program in robotics, present ideas, solve interdisciplinary challenges, create artwork, take part in performances and apply learning to unfamiliar situations. These experiences make concepts memorable and help students understand how knowledge connects across subjects and beyond school.
Preparation for IGCSE begins well before students select their Year 10 pathway. Throughout Years 7–9, teachers progressively develop the skills that matter most in external courses: independent study, accurate written communication, mathematical fluency, scientific reasoning, research, revision, time management and the ability to respond to feedback.
In Year 9, this preparation becomes more explicit. Students and parents receive guidance on IGCSE subjects, modular and linear examination routes, English placement, future university considerations and the expectations of High School. The aim is to make the transition informed and confident rather than sudden.
Academic growth is closely connected to wellbeing. Class advisors, teachers, supervisors, counsellors and school leaders work together to support students as they manage friendships, increasing expectations and the personal changes of early adolescence. Students are taught to communicate respectfully, seek support, manage their responsibilities and take ownership of their choices.
Students begin to find their voice through assemblies, clubs, competitions, science and robotics activities, language celebrations, art showcases, sports, student leadership and community initiatives. These experiences help students build confidence and discover interests that may later shape their IGCSE choices and future goals.
Assemblies, clubs and competitions help students find their voice and discover new interests.
Hands-on science and robotics activities turn curiosity into working solutions.
Language celebrations and art showcases let students perform and present with confidence.
Sports, student leadership and community initiatives build teamwork and responsibility.
The best way to understand Middle and High School life at ANPS is to meet our students, speak with our teachers and see learning in action. Families are welcome to contact the school to learn more about KS3, IGCSE, International A Levels, the IB Diploma Programme, career guidance and student life.
