Curriculum

To equip students with a high-quality education AlGhad provides students with an enriched curriculum together with 21st century skills.

All students study the Saudi National Curriculum and an International Curriculum in the key learning areas of English, Mathematics and Science. Learning in the International enrichment program is guided by the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH) International Curriculum. This curriculum exemplifies current and best practice – it includes project-based learning and caters towards students with different interests and learning styles.

An overview of the different programs, together with the research and results for their effectiveness, can be found at the links below:
