Frequently Asked Questions
What curriculum is used at your school?
We follow the U.S. Common Core standards and use a variety of resources to teach our students. For Pre-K and Kindergarten, we use Jolly Phonics and Into Math, alongside other resources. For 1st to 4th grades, we use EngageNY, Mystery Science, Into Math, and the Libyan Ministry of Education’s Arabic and Islamic curriculum. For 5th to 12th grades, we use StudySync, iScience, Into Math, and the Libyan Ministry of Education’s Arabic and Islamic curriculum. Additionally, we supplement our resources with digital tools such as IXL and Raz-Kids for reading, writing, and math.
Can my child attend a US or Libyan university?
Yes, it is possible for your child to attend a university in the US or Libya. We require our 11th grade students to take the SAT, a common requirement of US universities. If your child is an AMLY graduate, they may have an advantage in gaining admission to a US or European university. Additionally, they should be able to apply to Tripoli University or an equivalent institution in Libya.
How can I trust that AMLY school will maintain its quality in the future?
To ensure that our school meets US standards, we work with Cognia, an internationally recognized organization, to become certified according to their the accreditation process. This partnership helps us to maintain the quality of our school over time.
What are the qualifications of the teachers at your school? Will there be foreign teachers?
Our school works with some of the best educators in the country. Each suite is staffed with 3-4 Libyan teachers who have at least two years of experience and one foreign teacher. The foreign teacher is primarily responsible for teaching English Language Arts (ELA) and providing on-site training.
We currently have approximately 15 foreign staff members in various positions at our school this year.
What are the class sizes at your school?
As one of our nine distinctives, we have a small class size policy of 10-15 students per class. This policy promotes better student focus, which is essential for effective learning and academic success.
Why are Chromebooks the primary device for students at your school?
Google Chromebooks have been chosen as our primary device because of the vast resources available online, which help us creatively teach and engage with information. Additionally, using Chromebooks teaches children to be responsible on the internet and develop the skills necessary to be life-long learners, but please be assured that we still value handwriting and paper-back books and include them in our curriculum.
What extracurricular activities are available at your school?
We offer a range of extracurricular activities through our after-school program. Students can potentially sign up for clubs that involve robotics, Modul UN, sports, tutoring and homework assistance, board games, and others.
These clubs provide students with opportunities to develop their skills and interests outside of the classroom. We believe that participation in extracurricular activities is an important part of a well-rounded education, and we encourage all of our students to get involved.
What is your school’s policy on bullying?
We guarantee that we will provide a healthy learning environment and care for your child as a whole person.
We also encourage our students to support and cheer on their peers, focusing monthly on different character traits and regularly emphasizing the importance of treating others well.
In addition, we promise to walk alongside your child to help them navigate difficult situations, such as conflicts with peers or differences of opinion.
What are the lunch options available at your school?
Students can either bring their own lunch or purchase a meal for 16 LYD. We offer a set menu with different meals each day. Parents can add money to their child’s student account through our finance office, and students can use their Student ID badge to pay for their lunch each day.
Are there any payment discounts or installment plans available at your school?
We have a standard fee for every student at AMLY, including children of staff and board members. Each “seat” has a cost that we believe is worth the value. Investing in your child’s education is the best use of money, and we are proud to provide quality education that delivers long-term benefits.
What is included in the tuition fee at your school?
The tuition fee covers your child’s Google Chromebook, digital resources, materials, internet access, etc. However, it does not include lunch or after-school programs.
