MARIYA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

AL JUBAIL - KSA






MARIYA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL (MIS) PRESCHOOL INTRODUCTION
Our beginnings in 2008 were humble. We initially began our preschool with 3 rooms, 4 teachers, 2 assistants
and 27 students. The only motivation that bound our team together and kept us going was a dream that took
years of hard work and utmost dedication to fulfil. What started out as just a passionate desire five years ago
has now become a reality. We now have 279 children, 12 sections, and a team of 50+ diligent staff members.
And now, this reality will soon reach its zenith with the commencement of the new city campus. The energy,
the thought and the smallest attention to detail that was put into the making of this state of the art campus
cannot be put into mere words. It is no surprise then that the new city campus is a matter of such pride, not
only for us but also for children who come here and their parents. We encourage you to explore in detail our
school website and encourage you to personally visit our campus which is conveniently located in the heart
of Jubail. We hope that this will serve as a first step in providing you with information on the many aspects
of our school system.













MIS PRESCHOOL VISION AND PHILISOPHY
At MIS Preschool, our goal is to provide children with
a stimulating, education experience. At MIS, we
provide is a safe and nurturing environment in order to
build individual curiosity, creativity, self esteem,
problem solving and social skills. We believe in
building a well balanced and morally strong individual
who can share in and contribute to our community
and beyond.
One of the key strengths of our preschool program is
our experienced and highly conscientious faculty, the
hallmark of which is the conviction that by harnessing
the energy of true, beautiful and meaningful things, we
enable the child to go forth in life with initiative and
purpose. In addition, our customized campus enables
us to provide an emotionally supportive and carefully
structured home like environment where each child is
encouraged to learn at his own accord.

PROJECT BASED LEARNING
Project Based Learning (PBL) technique is a teaching methodology that focuses on learning by doing a
methodology which forms the crux of our preschool curriculum. Facts are not drummed into a childs head,
instead, a project emerges that will help the child achieve certain learning objectives.
At MIS Preschool, the project curriculum forges a much closer link between curriculum development and
school life. Thus, our preschool curriculum is dynamic and allows our children to absorb most by
experimenting first and learning first hand by making mistakes.












PRESCHOOL PROGRAMMES
Our Preschool program is inspired by the
modern Montessori methods combined with
the PBL approach. We focus on enforcing
learning by providing age appropriate activities
in a developmentally appropriate environment.
In order for children to develop their utmost
potential, it is essential to let them choose
activities within an environment specially
designed to help them fulfil their needs.
It is therefore that painting, singing, puppetry,
playacting, baking intellectual and creative
games and handwork have become the
foundation of our curriculum.
MIS PROGRAMS
Montessori
A childs world opens up in new ways as he
improves his hand-eye coordination, learns
complex games, and begins to interact more with
his peers.
Our Montessori program introduces language,
maths and science in a logical sequence to
encourage learning one step at a time. During this
time, particular attention is given to the
development of childrens motor skills, cognitive
skills, hand-eye coordination and their social skills.
The small class size also allows our teachers to
provide plenty of individual attention to support
your childs unique needs.
At MIS, we provide a rich classroom environment
where children are encouraged to explore and are
challenged to learn, while making friends and
developing self confidence. They strengthen their
cognitive skills with fun memory games in which
they match objects that share similar
characteristics. And because children learn best by
doing, we provide opportunities for hands on
experiences such as creating collages which
combines creative expression with a tactile
experience.

At MIS preschool, there are numerous activities going on throughout the academic year. Since kids learn
more by participating in events and having things demonstrated to them in a different and fun oriented
manner, we at MIS try to provide this facet of learning as much as we possibly can. Some of the activities
held at MIS are;
Kindergarten 1
KG1 is a critical time for children as they begin
the adventure of a lifetime of learning. We
promote independence while preparing your child
for the next exciting phase of this life. This we do
by making the transition smoother by helping
children become more familiar with an organized
environment. We focus on group play to develop
social skills, such as listening, sharing and
cooperation. Our teachers have a passion for
what they do, and consider it a privilege to
partner with you during this special time in your
childs life.
Kindergarten 2
Our KG 2 program is a comprehensive skill
based program, designed to prepare children
for the first grade and success in school. We
want your child to enjoy and appreciate the
educational process. Lessons are tailored to
meet your childs individual needs and designed
to give children opportunities to explore,
question, communicate and create in a fun,
supportive environment.

Duties of a bus monitor


Take attendance every day.

If a child is absent for three days, on the 4th day
give a call to parents to ask whether they are or
arent using the bus any more. If not, inform
the account section immediately.


Give a missed call at least 3 minutes before arriving and dropping a child.

Keep the safety of the students a priority; small children should not sit near the door.

The bus monitor should see to it that every child sits in his/her place, should not stand and damage
the bus seats, fans or floors.

If there is a delay in the bus arrival due to any reason, give parents a brief call that the bus will be
late.

The bus monitor will take the girls from the girls-side at home time and wait with them in the bus
until the boys arrive with the driver.

If the bus monitor is absent due to any reason, she should call the driver in the morning so that he
can give missed calls.

d) Transport

MIS owns a fleet of 20 centrally air-
conditioned buses. Our buses go on
different routes to provide pick and drop
service to interested pupils and teachers.

Moreover, each bus has a bus assistant who
makes sure teachers and students are on
time for the bus every morning.
