Education

  • Crescent Pathways implements a blended approach to learning by combining the best aspects of online and home schooling. This comprehensive educational model includes live lessons led by qualified instructors, which fosters real-time interaction and engagement. Students are also encouraged to engage in self-reading and independent projects to foster critical thinking and self-discipline. A variety of hands-on activities and collaborative assignments offer opportunities for students to develop practical skills and collaborate with peers.

    Furthermore, parent involvement in some activities ensures a strong support system for learners and promotes a well-rounded education experience. This blended learning approach is designed to cater to diverse learning styles and create a flexible, yet effective, educational environment.

  • For more details on the curriculum and to know precisely what your child will study during the year, visit our Curriculum and Primary sections.

  • If a student will be absent from class, parents can notify us through the parent portal.

    Students can also catch up with the recording made available by the teacher.

    Furthermore, resources from each class are made available to the students for 24-7 access, so students can access these resources anytime to catch up.

    Students can also email their teachers directly for additional guidance if needed.

  • All lessons are taught live online and recorded. Attending classes according to their timetables, students can interact with their teachers and classmates through video, audio, and text.

    If students are unable to attend a class, they can catch up using the recordings and readily-available resources.

  • There are no more than 20 students per class.

  • While attending lessons is highly recommended, we understand students may not be able to attend every class. If a student is unable to attend a class, he/she can catch up using the recordings and uploaded resources, and may contact their teacher for direct support.

  • At Crescent Pathways, our digital classroom environment is intentionally structured to minimize behavioral issues, disruptions, and distractions. Teachers have the ability to limit a student's chat or microphone access during lessons, if necessary. Additionally, instructors can place students in separate breakout rooms to address any behavioral concerns and resolve situations after class. All students are made aware of the rules and controls in place, fostering a positive learning environment for everyone. This approach is particularly beneficial for students who may have experienced bullying in the past, as it helps alleviate their concerns and promotes a supportive atmosphere for learning.

  • For more details, visit our Primary section and click on the year group you want to know more about.

  • Though Crescent Pathways is not equipped to provide specialized support for students with learning difficulties, many students discover that the online schooling format aligns well with their learning preferences. For instance, having round-the-clock access to recordings and resources enables these students to progress at a comfortable pace.

  • While it is recommended for your child to turn on their camera and microphone during live lessons to actively participate and engage with the class, it is not a strict requirement. We understand that some students may feel more comfortable with their camera and microphone off. To ensure their engagement, we monitor student involvement through regular interactive tests, polls, and activities during live lessons, which allow them to demonstrate their understanding and participation in the class without necessarily having their camera and microphone on.

  • In relation to Arabic and Qur’aan lessons, students are appropriately placed according to their levels rather than their age groups.
