Now more than ever, students need an international education to be responsible citizens of a global society.  At Khartoum American School, we provide a program of studies that is just that: international. 

When most people hear the word, “curriculum” they think of the academic programs and courses that are offered at a school.  At KAS, the academic program is constantly reviewed and improved.  Ours seeks to be an inquiry-based curriculum which places high value on being able to formulate and frame the questions of student inquiry with the basic understanding that the answers we get depend directly on the questions we ask.  In education we have come to understand that the best and the brightest students are the ones whose education is guided by well-articulated questions.

Traditional education basically presents students with facts and skills and then evaluates students on how well they learn, and repeat, the answers.  At KAS we value understanding rather than rote learning.  Our goal is to develop critical thinkers, not human answering machines.
