Libyan School

Welcome

The Libyan Arabic School was established more than a decade ago in 2001. Its initial aim was to assist the children of Libyan families to maintain a continuity in their education during their stay here in Aberdeen. Such families came to Aberdeen mainly as students for work commitments. here mainly for work.

The school has now since, however, extended its reach to provide its service to children from all walks of life. We have students from about 7-8 nationalities. The schools main aim is to help the community, so anyone is welcome to bring their children, or alternatively to participate in the schools Administration.

Courses Conducted

The school runs the following classes which are all conducted in Arabic:

  • Primary 1 to 9
  • Secondary 1, 2, and 3

There is also a popular Arabic class for Non-Arabic speakers. In the past, the Libyan school conducted a pre-school class for children under the age of 5 years. This has however been discontinued in favour of the primary and secondary classes.

Recently the school has shifted its focus towards teaching subjects that are not available in the normal British schools. These include:

  • Arabic,
  • Islamic History,
  • Pre-Islamic History, etc.

This has allowed our resources to be focused in these areas.

Monitoring Performance

Through out the year the parents are given a students performance form to advice the status of the children in order to plan. There is also a section for character and conduct which is very important. The children are also awarded a certificate at the end of the year to signify the work they have done.

Applying as a Teacher

We send out applications for teachers at around June-July. The teachers are screened in order to place them suitably. They are also invited to apply for a Criminal Records Bureau check and also state if they have First aid skills. Teachers are then selected accordingly by the co-ordinator.
