Danielle Mitterrand French School Of Erbil

The Danielle Mitterrand French School of Erbil was established in 2009 by Dr. Frédéric Tissot, the Consul General of France in Erbil at the time, for the purpose of improving education in Kurdistan. The school is named in honor of the former First Lady of France, Danielle Mitterrand, who was known for her advocacy and support for Kurdish rights and the Kurdish people. Her involvement and activism on behalf of the Kurds earned her admiration and respect among the Kurdish community. We offer nursery services, and education from kindergarten to high school, covering grades from maternelle (pre-school) to terminale (12th grade). Our mission is to provide a high-quality education that combines French academic standards with an appreciation for the local culture and values, fostering international understanding and promoting bilingualism among our students. Our school is accredited by the Government of France, which means we follow the French education system and teach the curriculum nationally set in France. In other words, our students get the same exact education as a student in France! Our school is a member of the largest network of foreign schools in the world, a network of 581 French schools in 139 countries. The Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE), which is a branch of France’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, oversees all of these international French schools, including ours, and ensures that the quality of education is maintained by inspecting our school on a regular basis and offering continuous learning and training to our teachers. Our school maintains its accreditation through this rigorous inspection process performed every year, and throughout the year, by the Government of France.

Lumiar Education Iraq

The Lumiar Methodology, awarded as one of the twelve most innovative pedagogic proposals in the world by Stanford University, Microsoft and UNESCO, was developed in the last seventeen years as a disruptive experience in education. Lumiar has been working over 17 years to transform the experience of students inside and outside of school. Through an innovative education methodology, we promote autonomy, engagement and the real construction of knowledge, putting students in the role they should be: the protagonist of their own learning. What does that mean? It means we offer interaction tools between the student and his curriculum, allowing to develop all the potential and follow beyond. In practice, we are a school that uses projects instead of class, integrated assessment rather than exams, and much more than that, we use technology, experience and knowledge to make this methodology a transformation tool.

Shahid Jabar Exemplary High School

In 2001 KSC started up an Exemplary Secondary School in the city of Sulaimaniya. The school started as a project to offer high standard education, through developing the Kurdish schooling system and combined it with an English one. The project proved to be very successful and the school is now one of the best ones available. The students are from age of 12 to 18, and they are accepted to the school through an exam done by all primary students in Kurdistan, as well as an exam done at the Exemplary school. At present, the school has about 250 students, with approximately 25 per class. They are taught all scientific subjects, such as chemistry, physics, and science, in English. They also devote themselves to more hours of studying the English language, which make them better prepared for University, or an international work place. We try to provide the school with teachers from abroad to develop the teaching methods, and take part in the general school work. The school year starts in September and ends in May, with six days of teaching a week, six hours a day. In the summer, they run extra courses for the students. The subjects vary from those of scientific nature, to art and music. Since the summers are long and hot in Iraqi Kurdistan, these are popular courses, very much appreciated by the students.
