Blyth Academy Qatar offers Programs of Study for students in Junior Kindergarten (JK does not accredited by Alberta as Alberta does not offer JK) to Grade 12 using the curriculum and assessment documents designed and produced by the Government of Alberta, in Canada, under their direct supervision and evaluation processes. Further to this, the school is accredited by the Ministry of Education of the State of Qatar and offers Arabic and Islamic Studies that fall under the direct guidance and supervision of the MoE.
The school has been using the Alberta Education curriculum for nine years. It is applied in a continuum from Kindergarten to grade 12 where the Alberta Program of Studies, the Alberta Approved Resources, and the Assessment Documents and Grading by Alberta Education form the framework of references for the instruction. The evaluation, supervision, and feedback are provided by final standardized examination results, annual visitations and annual accountability surveys, released as the Accountability Pillar Report. The school also accesses all documentation approved and demanded by the SEC for their Arabic and Islamic Studies. The evaluation, supervision, and feedback are provided by formal visitations and annual surveys with the annual release of a School Report Card. Both sets of curricula operate under a model of delivery with measures for the school’s self-reflection that leads to continuously aiming to improve and update its pedagogy and operations.
