When you seek a place of friendship and esteem where students feel safe from bullying and negative peer pressure, come to Almaarif International School; our learning environment is caring and enriching, as are the relationships among the students themselves. Al-maarif is nestled in a serene environment conducive to academic activities within the outskirts of Katsina.
Our School offers youngsters in Nursery and Primary a unique educational approach that builds the foundation for a lifetime of continuous learning. Rather than provide an atmosphere of education, Al-maarif creates an environment for education based on the following principles:
Principles :
1. Both the academic and psychological needs of a child must be nurtured if total and continuous learning is to take place;
2. The best learning environment is one that encourages cooperation rather than individual competition;
3. All children are gifted and are entitled to be treated accordingly;
4. Since parents are the primary teachers of their children, it is only through the cooperative
Efforts of both home and school that children can receive the best education possible. At Al-maarif we share in part the Progressivists’ philosophy: “Education should focus on the whole child, rather than the content or the teacher.”
5. The learner is a problem solver and thinker who finds meaning through his or her individual experience in the physical and cultural context. Learning is active and not passive”..
