American Curriculum (Pre-School to Middle School) – Common Core a State Standards of Learning, by the NGSS and the MOE National Curriculum.
FLIS-Rabdan opened in the 2023–2024 academic year and currently serves students from Pre-KG to Grade 6, with one additional grade level added each year as we grow into a full middle school. The school offers a standards-based American curriculum, aligned with:
- California State Standards for English, Math, Physical Education, and Art
- Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for Science
- AERO Standards for Social Studies
- MOE Curriculum for Arabic, Islamic Studies, UAE Social Studies, and Moral Education
Early learners in Pre-KG and KG1 benefit from the Creative Curriculum, which fosters inquiry-based and developmentally appropriate learning experiences. Non-native speakers also receive tailored instruction in Arabic and Islamic subjects.
Our curriculum is designed not only to meet international benchmarks but also to honor the UAE’s national identity, Islamic values, and cultural heritage.
