INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
Vision
Our commitment is to use technology to achieve
excellence that will allow us to maintain a knowledge
center in which the students will remain the focus in
an ever-challenging and technological society.
Self-Paced Learning
•We update our material and courses so that our students benefit from a dynamic learning.
•Courses are assigned based on students’ skills and progress where each student can learn on his/her
own pace.
•Our courses are always up-to-date, and are endorsed by strategic partners such as ICDL and CISCO.
•All students are made aware of the number of courses or skills they have to master during the
academic year
• Parents can follow-up on their children’s progress on the school portal.
The ICT Curriculum
ICT Course structure
The following course workflow is applied to assign an ICT course to a student :
1. Student cases:
At the beginning of every academic year; students are either new or already
enrolled.
2. Course Assignment:
Once all the course material is completed, the student is assessed by
completing his final project and assessment.
3. Moving to the next course:
Assigning a new course depends on the previous assigned course result
ICDL
oThe ICDL certificate helps other parties recognize your children’s IT skills. It is an
international certificate with no expiry date.
oTo achieve an ICDL certificate, candidates must pass six exams, an exam per ICDL
