حيث تلهمك الطبيعة ويبني التصميم وترشدك القيم

ألف هي روضة أطفال ومدرسة ابتدائية ثنائية اللغة ومختلطة.

وهي توسع نطاق التعلم خارج الفصل الدراسي وتربط الأطفال بمحيطهم الطبيعي مع تأصيل التعلم في الطبيعة والأخلاق يوميًا.

اعتمدت ألف برنامجًا تعليميًا فريدًا لتمكين الطفل يسمى نهج ICAN، وبذلك أصبحت أول مركز تعليمي في المنطقة. يتعلم أطفالنا تحقيق التوازن بين المحتوى والشخصية، والعاطفة والرحمة، وفعل الخير مع القيام بعمل جيد. يساعد هذا البرنامج الأطفال على اكتساب القدرة على قيادة التغيير الإيجابي وأن يصبحوا مواطنين مسؤولين وإنسانيين في العالم؛ وبالتالي يصبحون متمكنين بعقلية ICAN.

تؤكد ألف أيضًا على دور اللغة العربية اللغة الأم، بالإضافة إلى اللغة الإنجليزية؛ فهي تحتفي بثقافتنا الغنية وتربط أطفالنا بمسؤولية بالعالم العالمي.

تعليمنا متجذر بعمق في التفكير التصميمي؛ مما يساعد أطفالنا على أن يصبحوا قادة الغد اليوم.

نحن في ”ألف“ نعزز الرفاهية من خلال التعلم اليومي، وبالتالي تعليم التنظيم العاطفي والصحة. تتخصص ألف في المراحل والمتطلبات الاجتماعية والعاطفية والتربوية في رياض الأطفال والمرحلة الابتدائية.

سوف تنمو ألف لتصبح مدرسة متكاملة من رياض الأطفال حتى الصف الثاني عشر حيث تهدف إلى تخريج طلابها الحاصلين على دبلوم البكالوريا الدولية في الوقت المناسب؛ بعد التقدم بطلب للحصول على تراخيص البرامج المختلفة أثناء نمونا.

LEARNING THROUGH NATURE

Learning through nature supports children’s physical, mental, and emotional development by encouraging creativity, problem-solving, and independence. It enhances focus, boosts confidence, and promotes environmental awareness, helping children develop a sense of responsibility. Nature-based learning also engages multiple senses, making education more interactive and memorable.

Additionally, outdoor experiences improve physical health, reduce stress, and foster social skills through free play and teamwork. Overall, nature makes learning more enjoyable, meaningful, and beneficial for a child’s overall growth.

We at Alef promote outdoor learning in addition to indoor learning, through an engaging outdoor curriculum. Our curriculum includes teaching literacy and numeracy, science and discovery, while engaging learning with different available elements of nature. Our children will also be involved in gardening and planting among many other outdoor activities. 

MISSION

At Alef School of Nature, we cultivate excellence through rigorous, inquiry-driven learning rooted in nature, guided by humane values, and powered by design thinking. Our students become innovative solution-seekers and empathetic leaders—proud of their own culture and language, and prepared to thrive in a complex world while caring for their communities and the planet. Our learners are humane, not by chance; by design.


VISION

We see all our children thriving in a greener, flourishing Jordan and a more peaceful world; not by chance but by design. Design thinking and direct interaction with nature underly our learning processes to promote lifelong, solution-focused, confident and successful citizens. Alef is an inclusive and empathetic community.  

A SHARED CULTURE

A shared school culture fosters a sense of belonging, unity, and common purpose among students, staff, and the wider school community. When everyone aligns with the same values, expectations, and goals, a positive and supportive environment that enhances learning, encourages mutual respect, and promotes collaboration is created. This collective identity helps guide behavior, improves communication, and strengthens the school's ability to respond to challenges consistently and effectively. Ultimately, a strong shared culture contributes to academic success, student well-being, and a more resilient, inclusive educational community.

OUR FOUNDER’S LETTER

Dear Families, Friends, and Future Changemakers,

Welcome to Alef School of Nature—a place where learning is alive, purposeful, and deeply connected to the world around us.

At Alef, we believe that education should nourish both the heart and the mind. Here, children learn not just in classrooms, but outdoors under trees, in the open air, and through the rhythms of the natural world. We pair this immersive connection to nature with a commitment to excellence in learning—rigorous academics that challenge students to think critically, solve real problems, and pursue knowledge with curiosity and discipline.

But knowledge alone is not enough. That’s why we center humane values in all we do—teaching our students to lead with empathy, collaborate with respect, and take responsibility for the communities and ecosystems they are part of.

Through design thinking, our students learn to observe the world, ask bold questions, and create thoughtful solutions. Whether they’re designing sustainable habitats, resolving social challenges, or reimagining the future—they do so with creativity, courage, and care.

Alef is more than a school. It is a growing community of learners, educators, and families dedicated to building a better world—one child, one idea, and one act of kindness at a time.

We invite you to explore, connect, and dream with us.

Warmly,

Shirine Al Khudari
