ENGLISH LANGUAGE

We teach the Alphabet through Alphabet puppets and Alphabet stories, together the ideas and the materials will enable us to teach letter recognition and sounds to our children through meaningful learning experiences.

Alphabet puppets present an effective method of teaching the Alphabet that is stimulating for both the teacher and the child. In Alphabet stories, the puppets experience special adventures, which are pictorially portrayed. The letters and the sounds are carefully interwoven through the stories in which they enable children to share these stories with their families, extending the learning beyond the classroom in to the home.

In addition, we present many learning activities, which broaden the concepts introduced in the stories to facilitate the learning styles.

The Alphabet stories are:
(First term) Loony Lion, Tricky Turkey

(Second term) Happy Hippo, Friendly Frog, B.B. Bunny
(Third term) Ditto Dog, Merry Mouse

 ELEMENTARY 


Lower Elementary (grades 1, 2, 3)

Upon completion of the prescribed years, students are expected to have grasped the following:

  • our basic concept is to accept students as they are, not as should be, and then to install in them the courage to accept themselves as imperfect and that they are ready to learn and improve
  • we separate between the doer and the deed: we avoid moral judgement
  • our main goal which is to make the Learner understand that there is a difference between the work done by the student and his personality and character: his work is wrong not he is wrong 

These are some of that we believe in and being taught through our different grades, students would sure become an oriented citizen ready to challenge the hardships in life.

DEPARTMENTS


ARABIC

With the beginning of the current academic year, we started to apply the new curriculum in teaching the Arabic language and literature. Some of the objectives applied are: 

Developing the character of the Learner on the bases of the national, social, educational and humanistic level. Changing the method of teaching used in the past from dictating and memorising to search and find method. Doing this, the Learner would show his personal skill, participate actively in the development of an argument, develop his own research skill, and find for himself composed strategies. All this can be provided under the supervision of the teacher.

The target of the new curriculum is that the Learner to express his feelings, situations, and opinions in Standard Arabic and to develop his writing and oral skills. 

Another main target is added in the secondary classes; it is to enable students to become empathetic toward the culture, literal and critical and stressing at the same time on the humanistic and the ethical values written through the ages.  commpic/top.gif (1792 bytes)

 BIOLOGY

Our Biology Department includes well-prepared laboratories equipped with all necessary instruments, specimens and equipment needed for understanding and experimenting the objectives of biology. 

The Biology subject is divided into levels: elementary, intermediate and secondary levels. 

In the elementary level students learn about life, how the body works, classification of animals and plants but in a simple and brief way. The same topics are covered in the intermediate level with emphasis on animal behaviour and plant reproduction as well as studying the systems of the human body in detail. In the Secondary level, the students will learn about plants and environment in the First Secondary while the students of the Third Secondary learn about human systems, plant and animal reproduction, photosynthesis and chlorophyll in an elaborated way. 

Students of the Third Secondary graduate with enough information that allows them to choose any major they desire in any university.  commpic/top.gif (1792 bytes)

COMPUTER

The year 2001-2002 is N.E.I.G.B.’s first year in achieving a thriving computer department. We have obtained all new computers this year as well as accomplished a new and strong curriculum. Our goal is: starting from KG1 and ending in Third Secondary, that each consecutive year we add to the teachings of the year before. For example, the Elementary level learns basic computer functions with the mouse and keyboard while integrating programs of Math, English and Art. The Middle School achieves knowledge in Windows 98 while doing interactive projects that reinforce the basic skills of computer. Finally, the Secondary level student is thus prepared, using the foundation of computer skills he learned in the previous years, to deeply involve himself in essential computer programs.  

We hope that every student that graduates from N.E.I.G.B. will have a successful background in applications such as Windows 98, Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, and finally Basic Programming which are taught in the Secondary level. Our intent is that each graduating student will be able to enter directly into the work force or any university and will have the basic skills of word processing, spreadsheets, and databases.  

Not only are we preparing the student after his final school year, we are partnering the Computer department with other departments such as English, College preparation, Philosophy, Mathematics, etc. One of the major duties of the Computer department is to prepare each student to be able to work individually on the computer in other educational departments. Each department allows students certain class periods to enter the computer rocommpic/top.gif (1792 bytes)om and perform on related CD programs or obtain research. 

ENGLISH

Since  1998, we have started applying the new curriculum in classes First Elementary through Second Intermediate and in First Secondary.

This implies:

  • group work

  • projects

  • researches

  • co-operative learning

  • critical thinking 

Students are more encouraged to depend on themselves as to thinking, observing, analysing and commenting. 

Our goal is to succeed in guiding students to graduate with fluency in speaking, reading, analysing, and writing English. That is why we are applying a follow up procedure, which begins at Nursery and ends in Third Secondary. In fact, we are trying to avoid parents teaching their children at home, so all work is done in class. Even if homework is given, it is limited to reading or applying what has been done in class, not more. 

As to Second, Third and Fourth Intermediate and Third Secondary, the old curriculum is still applied, which implies: 

  • comprehension

  • grammar application

  • essay writing

  • answering literature or philosophy questions 

We are stuck with the above because our students still have to sit for certificate exams related to the above.  commpic/top.gif (1792 bytes)

FRENCH

Conçernant le français à l’école, le français a été depuis plusieurs années enseigné comme 3eme langue à partir de la 4eme année du primaire.
Cependant l’importance qu’on donnait à cette langue était minime. En effet le peu d’intérêt dont faisait preuve les directions successives et qui se répercutait sur les élèves a donné des résultats souvent décevants.
Par contre, cette année, la direction de l’école, consciente de l’importance du français dans le monde et particulièrement au Liban, qui est un pays francophone, a décidé de donner à cette langue l’importance qui lui est dûe.
C’est pourquoi, le français est enseigné à partir de cette année, de la 1ère année du primaire jusqu’en seconde. Une coordination entre tous ces niveaux est assurée pour permettre une progression dans l’apprentissage.
L’objectif de notre établissement est désormais, de faire du français une langue dans laquelle l’élève pourra s’exprimer oralement et par écrit.
Ensemble nous pourrons y arriver. C’est pourquoi nous comptons sur votre collaboration en encourageant vos enfants tout le long de leur apprentissage.

MATH (Elementary and Intermediate)

The department of Math is working to constitute a fertile field for the development of critical thinking and to give the student a useful knowledge for the University. For example, read, understand and interpret a mathematical text, use symbols, tables, and graphs, write a proof and explain a given situation. They apply this to social life by constructing mathematics through organised working groups.  commpic/top.gif (1792 bytes)

 

MATH (Secondary)

The administration of N.E.I.G.B. adopted the new curriculum to teach math which stresses on cancelling the dictating and memorising methods of teaching used in the past and focus on thinking skill objectives under the supervision of the teacher. Students are to work in groups to develop thinking strategies in problem solving, decision-making, and conceptualising. When students apply the above, they would discover and apply the information gained in their daily life after graduation. Thus mathematics becomes an applied science in reality and directly related to the field of business.
