To be from Aljazari
The education philosophy of Aljazari International Schools of Science and Technology, which aims to raise virtuous and happy individuals in the nature and universe of human beings, consists of two basic areas. While the first field covers the harmony of the information and technology centered human with the nature, the second field covers the students' being original, active and productive with a culture of living together.
In this framework, our educational philosophy is based on five complementary paradigms:
• Happy generation in inner world, balanced and virtuous generation in social relations.
• A productive generation that uses knowledge and technology as a benefit center with an interdisciplinary methodology for the professions of the future.
• Respectful to the environment, knowing its place in the life cycle, and building its life with renewable energy sources.
• The social generation that transforms the emotional values that form the core of the asset into action with art and sports.
• The original generation that can provide interaction between civilizations with language and cultural accumulation and world fraternity.
A Day in Aljazari Primary School
The Education is not limited to lesson hours during the day. Every moment of our students is when they add new information and values to them. With the clock that comes to the school, the time period of our students being fun, exploring and productive begins. The morning program starts with reading, sports and chat activities.
Our students become open to learning dynamically and excitedly. Our lessons are reflections of our educational paradigm and are taught with activities and practices. Recesses are free time for our students and they spend free time in the playgrounds prepared for them. With our different types of educational games, students have fun and developing activities in their spare time.
In our school, which is encouraged to produce and implement ideas, our students develop short and long term projects. Class decorations, picnics, daily tournaments, group activities etc. student actions are carried out with the support of our teachers and students. Our students experience excitement, happiness and virtue together in a world where they discover their potential at school.
Our Training Program
The Aljazari Learning Program (JLP) aims to raise a virtuous, happy, productive and social generation for a livable world. JLP is designed to enable practical knowledge acquisition to be transformed into production and is implemented in collaboration with concerned universities, educational institutions and professional branches.
DAS (Development-Art-Sport) program, where JLP theoretical training is given, consists of J5 activities where practical training is planned and PDP, which is a personal development program.
Primary school JLP covers the ages 6 to 12 and refers to the socialization period. The physical, emotional and cognitive development goals determined in this direction have shaped the course names and contents. The programs for our students' social activities, club activities, and talent areas were placed in our education program in a balanced way. The applied education that we started in kindergarten continues in primary school. Our students acquire new skills using laboratories and workshops.
The primary school curriculum includes Mathematics, Science, Life Science, Social Studies, English, Turkish, Physical Education and Sports, Music, Visual Arts, Information Technologies and Software, and Human Rights and Citizenship courses. In addition, within the scope of elective courses, Religious Culture and Moral Knowledge and Arabic courses are included. Students attend these classes in line with the wishes of their parents.
In the Information Technologies and Software course given in primary school, our students conduct robotic coding studies and lay the foundations of technology education. With our activities, projects and clubs, our students are given the opportunity to do original work. Our students start their own experiments and products in laboratories and workshops. More emphasis is placed on maker training to improve skills in primary school.
Language Education
The greatest function in expressing what they hear belongs to language. The mental meaning of each language is unique and means a new way of thinking. The new language learned improves the child's understanding and self-confidence.
Students who have a basic expression skill in English, Turkish and mother tongue at a young age can think differently and originally from their peers in cognitive sense. Our students are expected to have this skill since early childhood, when language acquisition is the easiest. The ability to understand and comprehend by hearing is gained only through those who can speak that language as their mother tongue. With these sensitivities, our students will have the opportunity to reveal their potential on the path from love to knowledge.
The English course is taught seven (7) hours a week. The English education consists of listening, comprehension and internalization skills, which include the student's interpretation by hearing, and grammar studies aimed at expressing the language effectively and meaningfully, and acquiring a proper and correct language. Our students train for international language exams from an early age.
Mathematics, Science, Human Rights and Citizenship and Information Technologies and Software courses are taught in English. The life science lesson, taught in English in first and second grades and is taught in Turkish in the third grade. The Social Studies course that started in the fourth (4) grade of primary school is given in Turkish.
Turkish language subject, which is the social integration language of our school, is three hours a week. Our course, which provides reading, writing and grammar knowledge, is supported by social cohesion courses. In this context, Physical Education and Play, Visual Arts and Music lessons are held in Turkish. Our students acquire the language naturally in a daily use.
The Religious Culture and Moral Knowledge course, which offered as an elective course in primary school in first, second and third grades, is taught in Arabic. In addition, two hours of Arabic lessons per week are among our elective courses. Educational activities for reading and writing are held in Arabic lessons.
J5 in primary school
Aljazari International Schools of Science and Technology do not educate students based on lessons and subjects, but adopts an understanding for the discovery and development of talents and skills. J5 primary school activities, which are the club and social activity program, are held after school day, on weekends and in some lessons within the curriculum.
Aljazari Schools J5 program is divided into five groups, which constitute our application areas in accordance with the youth profile that our paradigm aims to create.
• J-Tech, the field of activity in which 21st century science and technology turns into production with the idea of innovation,
J-Trail, Recognizing and applying the world of nature and life in a climate of love and respect,
• J-TT, which covers innovation-centered activities where methodological thinking turns into production,
• J-Talk, a field of language and cultural activities where a transformation from individual to society is designed with the power of expression,
• J-Talent, where art and sports activities are carried out in which skills and abilities turn into emotions and behaviors.
Art is the journey of emotions.
We color our students' world with paints and shapes during the primary school period when abstract thinking is not formed. Emotional development, which is the basis of personality development, is provided by art and music. We play instrument and rhythm in our music workshop. In the visual arts workshop, students create their own works with different methods.
In the science workshop, we carry out activities aimed at researching and questioning by emphasizing the sense of curiosity. In the Maker and Design workshop, we combine different developmental areas with the works we bring together art and technique.
We offer a fit and dynamic training environment with sports. Students get to know themselves better by having the opportunity to experience different sports. Our students are trained as professional athletes with sports activities started at an early age.
In the thinking workshop, our students gain different perspectives and make reading based on value and meaning. Games and activities for organizing and focusing their thoughts are carried out by our psychological counselors.
The Nature of the Child
Nature and living love, which is the main paradigm of Aljazari Schools, becomes a part of our students' lives starting from primary school.
Within the scope of permaculture studies, students who are intertwined with the soil do their own sowing and growing activities. They make animals friendly and take care of them and play games. Students design and develop ideas about recycling activities aimed at gaining environmental and nature awareness. Every student adopts zero waste studies as their own duty. It decomposes food and garbage and restores it to nature.
Our children, who grow up with human love and live, realize social responsibility projects. They delivered the products they designed with the materials they had, and the work they did within the school.

The feelings and thoughts that make up the human can mature with morality and human values. Values such as love, respect, solidarity, sharing, honesty and altruism are provided to our students with our lessons and activities. All of our teachers and members of Aljazari Educational Institutions are role models and create a fraternal climate.
In our institution where Islamic education is given, the principles of Islamic belief and worship, reading the Quran, and prophet life are taught in elementary school.
PDP (Personality Development Program)
PDP applications within the scope of Aljazari Learning Program (JLP) centered on student recognition studies in primary school. Portfolio files are created to identify students with observations, interviews and tests. PDP allows each student to learn and develop individually.
In the elementary school, our psychological counselors work together with classroom teachers who spend a lot of time and emotionally bond. Accurate and effective evaluations are made about the student. Periodic meetings are held with the family, classroom teacher and psychological counselor. At these meetings, the development goals are determined with the approval of the student. Evaluation meetings are held at the end of the period for these targets.
