Curriculum

Our school follows the Ministry of Education’s curriculum across all subjects and branches, supplemented by the following specialized programs:

• Qur’an Studies:

The Islamic Education Department at the Pioneers International Academy Schools is a fundamental part of our institution. Through diverse programs, it aims to instil values, ethics, and positive attitudes related to the Qur’an and Sunnah, as well as to reinforce citizenship and cultural heritage. The academy has integrated an additional weekly Qur’an lesson into both its national and international programs from kindergarten to 10th grade. Moreover, the academy offers scholarships covering up to 100% of tuition fees for students who memorize five or more parts of the Qur’an, awarded progressively based on the level of memorization. The morning Qur’an clubs also motivate students to memorize and recite the Qur’an, master the rules of Tajweed, and participate in internal and external competitions. The department is committed to fostering a positive environment that strengthens students’ adherence to Islamic values.

• English Language:

At the Pioneers International Academy Schools, English language instruction for students from 7th to 9th grade in the national section is based on curricula aligned with international standards. These curricula are designed to foster a love of reading in all students, enabling them to develop foundational language skills through phonological awareness lessons, which help them decode and accurately read words and vocabulary. This, in turn, aids their comprehension of both fictional and non-fictional texts that relate to real-life scenarios.

The curriculum features a variety of reading strategies that deepen students’ understanding and critical thinking about texts, transitioning them from learning to read to reading to learn. Additionally, the curriculum is rich in graphic organizers that help students analyze concepts and texts, leading them to write high-quality pieces based on what they have read and learned.

The curriculum also incorporates inquiry-based learning through essential unit questions that spark students’ motivation to research, engage in critical thinking, and participate effectively in discussions, enhancing their ability to use the language during conversations.

A comprehensive set of learning resources encourages students to step outside traditional methods and explore creative activities, interactive educational games, and electronic exercises that support learning both at school and at home with their parents, making technology a purposeful tool for learning. The curriculum is interactive and enjoyable.

• STEAM Program:

The STEAM program provides students with integrated experiences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, emphasizing the connections and integration among these disciplines. The program is taught in English in laboratories equipped with digital tools and is designed for students from kindergarten to 8th grade.

For 7th and 8th graders, STEAM is taught through project-based learning and integrated with science and mathematics courses

• Turkish Language Instruction:

With technological advancements and global connectivity making the world a smaller place, the need to learn additional languages has become increasingly important. We have chosen to offer Turkish as an enrichment subject, providing students with the opportunity to learn this language in an engaging manner.

• Computer Science:

The interactive (Hellocode) curriculum for Computer Science:

The Pioneers International Academy Schools has adopted the interactive (Hellocode) platform, which aims to teach children programming and coding skills. Children start learning by storytelling inspired by their daily lives.

The connection with (Hellocode) characters, along with innovative lessons and enjoyable exercises, creates a comprehensive learning environment that provides children with essential life skills such as problem-solving, computational and analytical thinking, creativity, and logical reasoning—all delivered in a fun and engaging way.
