The KG programme at Dubai International Academy follows IB Primary Years Programme (PYP).

Overall, the IB programme aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring individuals who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

Our KG students are encouraged to think independently, make choices, become problem-solvers, express themselves creatively and work cooperatively with others. Kind humans who actively engage with the world around them is a fundemental long term vision when students begin their school journey with us in KG.

  • Personal, social and emotional development
  • Communication and language
  • Literacy
  • Mathematical development
  • Knowledge and understanding of the world
  • Physical development
  • Expressive Arts and design

The three areas children develop first are communication and language, physical development and personal, social and emotional development. As children grow, they will also develop in the areas of literacy, mathematics, understanding the world and expressive arts and design. Reading and Phonics are based on each child’s ability and readiness. Additionally, our students would have begun to develop their mathematical reasoning, basic geometry and measurement skills.
