It's Good to Be at King's: Middle School

Middle School

The King's Academy Middle School strives to provide bright young minds with a space in which they feel comfortable expressing themselves; one that cultivates their curiosity through active and interactive forms of learning, personalized instruction and advising, and the development of strong habits of study and character. The Middle School focuses on character development, debate and self-expression, collaborative teamwork, understanding and evaluating multiple perspectives, and finally, play.

The academic program is unlike any other in Jordan, with  interactive, hands-on classes that challenge the mind and stimulate the imagination.

The Middle School at King’s uses a student-centered grading approach that revolves around three important skills: reflection and meta-cognition, reading and understanding feedback, and goal setting. Students are expected to reflect on their own learning, guided by evidence and narrative feedback from their teachers. Students set goals for themselves, in conjunction with their teachers, to highlight areas of growth. The Middle School motivates students to take responsibility for their own educational journey and develop a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.

It's been less than a month since Nadine joined King's, and Abdullah and I are noticing the positive impact on her. She is enthusiastic about academics and can't stop talking about what she is learning and doing at school.
