1. Computer Science INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES

2. Vision Our commitment is to use technology to achieve excellence that will allow us to maintain a knowledge center in which the students will remain the focus in an ever-challenging and technological society.

3. Self-Paced Learning We update our material and courses so that our students benefit from a dynamic learning. Courses are assigned based on students’ skills and progress where each student can learn on his/her own pace. Our courses are always up-to-date, and are endorsed by strategic partners such as ICDL and CISCO. All students are made aware of the number of courses or skills they have to master during the academic year Parents can follow-up on their children’s progress on the school portal.

4. The ICT Curriculum

5. ICT Course structure The following course workflow is applied to assign an ICT course to a student : 1. Student cases: At the beginning of every academic year; students are either new or already enrolled. 2.Course Assignment: Once all the course material is completed, the student is assessed by completing his final project and assessment. 3.Moving to the next course: Assigning a new course depends on the previous assigned course result
