Qatar Foundation (QF), under the umbrella of its Pre-University Education (PUE). has announced on Wednesday the launch of its new schoolAcademyati that offers personalised education.
The new progressive school in Qatar will be based in QF’s Education City and is slated to open in August. It will initially welcome 48 boys and girls aged three to six years but it is designed to incrementally expand to the point where it ultimately accommodates children and young people aged three to 18.
Academyati will provide tailored, creative, and nurturing learning experiences designed to ensure children studying at the school achieve their full potential. It will offer a dual-language learning programme, with both English and Arabic being used equally as a medium for learning.
In her presentation,Academyati Director Maryam Alhajri said the concept of the new school started two years ago from the pioneering idea of QF Vice-Chairperson and CEO HE Sheikha Hind bint Hamad al Thani. She underlined that Academyati’s philosophy relies on the belief on the potentials and unique vision of every child as well as in preparing a new generation of innovators.
“We’re excited to be opening a first-of-its-kind, progressive school in Qatar, under the QF umbrella, and we believe our philosophy and teaching and learning elements are going to change the future of education.Academyati stands for ‘Innovation in Learning’. We believe in trusting today’s children. By exposing our children to experiences and quests as a way of learning, we aim to fuel children’s independence, empathy, curiosity, and creativity through their journey in Academyati . We have faith that their inner gifts will shape amazing outcomes,” she said.
Among the features of the new school is its approach to learning that has been specifically created through evidence-based research, the experiences of its team, and their knowledge and insight of the educational landscape in Qatar and its cultural and societal context.
Children atAcademyati will be introduced to different experiences and quests – open-ended problem-solving activities focused on real-world problems – as a way of learning, with these being designed to nurture their independence, empathy, curiosity, and creativity.In terms of the children’s grouping, they will be in multi-age groups, rather than the structure being defined by grade levels or children’s year of birth to enable each child to learn at their own pace, and from older or younger children.Also , the school will have discovery spaces rather than a traditional classroom-based academic setting.
“Designed to add to the legacy of quality education that has already been created by its diverse and specialised schools, QF’s new, progressive K-12 school,Academyati , will bring a whole new educational experience to Qatar. A bilingual school offering individualised education, with an emphasis on experiential learning within an innovative educational ecosystem that will work in close partnership with parents and families, Academyati will graduate students who are aware, confident, empowered, and can bring positive change to their world,” PUE President Buthaina Ali al Nuaimi said in an official statement on the launch.
