Programs ensure the acquisition of fundamental knowledge and skills. They reflect and specify the objectives defined by the new common base. This is structured around five areas:

• Languages for thinking and communicating
• Methods and tools for learning
• Personal and civic development
• Natural and technical systems
• Representations of the world and human activity

These programs, designed to be simple and easy to understand, aim to help all students succeed and enhance the quality of teaching and learning.   

• Their objectives are clear and defined according to a progression adapted to children's learning.

At AIS, Art, Physical Education and Music are taught in English. Students also have one hour of Scientific English.

En classe de 6^{Starting in 6ème, students will take one hour of Scientific English. This hour will introduce students to a field of scientific lexis that is not covered in the usual practice of the language, and will pave the way for a field that is crucial for anyone pursuing studies in science.}, les enseignements des sciences de la vie et de la Terre, physique-chimie et technologie peuvent être regroupés en « Sciences et technologie », faisant l’objet d’un programme commun, dans la continuité des premières années du cycle 3.
Les enseignements pratiques interdisciplinaires (EPI) sont des enseignements complémentaires qui font partie des enseignements obligatoires et se mettent en œuvre sous forme de projets.

The objectives for the end of each cycle are defined by national curricula, enabling students to work on the knowledge and skills of the Common Base. These programs encompass History of Art and Media and Information Literacy, which are not tied to a particular subject but are taught across the board, with support from the librarian and the CDI (Documentation and Information Center).

Al Jabr also promotes the responsible use of AI among students by providing lessons on its use and ethics. It is essential for our students to be informed of the dangers of unethical use while mastering the elements to utilize it effectively.

This education runs parallel with Media and Information Literacy, as well as Civic and moral education.

Optional teaching

Starting in 5ème, Al Jabr offers its students the possibility of learning a third foreign language, with a choice between Spanish and German.^{Starting in 6ème, students will take one hour of Scientific English. This hour will introduce students to a field of scientific lexis that is not covered in the usual practice of the language, and will pave the way for a field that is crucial for anyone pursuing studies in science.} langue vivante à partir de la 5^{Starting in 6ème, students will take one hour of Scientific English. This hour will introduce students to a field of scientific lexis that is not covered in the usual practice of the language, and will pave the way for a field that is crucial for anyone pursuing studies in science.} avec un choix possible entre l’espagnol et l’allemand.

If the student's overall level permits, opting for this optional course is highly recommended, as it will help students build substantial linguistic capital, facilitating access to top-tier higher education programs in the future.

« The Common Base of Knowledge, Skills and Culture » is the body of knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to succeed in school, as an individual and as a future citizen. From elementary school through to the final year of compulsory education, pupils progressively acquire the skills and knowledge of this common foundation. Teachers certify the level achieved in each component of the Common Base at the end of each teaching cycle. This validation accounts for 50% of the final mark for the Diplôme National du Brevet.
