Advanced Mawhiba Program in Science and Mathematics

About the program

Program Objective

This program aims to expose gifted students to advanced learning experiences that are broader and deeper than those provided in their regular schools, in order to motivate them to discover more concepts in mathematics and science, and to unleash their latent energies, and this is done in an additional period of time outside of official school hours.

Note: Registration in the National Program for Gifted Identification is a prerequisite for nomination into the program.

Program justifications

This program will provide gifted students with in-depth learning opportunities that enrich their school programs by teaching them the gifted curricula in science and mathematics, which were designed in cooperation with foreign and Arab expertise houses, most of which were built in a manner consistent with the curricula of the Ministry of Education, so as to challenge the abilities of gifted students. They are taught by specialized teachers who are able to meet the needs and interests of gifted students.

Advanced Mawhiba Curricula

Mawhiba's curricula focus on three axes:

Advanced values, attitudes and traits such as inquiry, flexibility, creativity and independence in study, openness to different alternatives, and perseverance.
Advanced knowledge and understanding. Such as clarity of concepts, understanding of mathematical and scientific topics and principles, grasping big ideas, using proofs, scientific inquiry, and understanding the basic structure of mathematics and science.
Advanced skills. Such as logical thinking, reasoning, forming abstract mental images, and linking acquired skills on the one hand with the context of normal life and its problems on the other hand. Fluency, accuracy in use, communication skills and their tools, metacognitive abilities, generalization and modeling.
