Introduction: Space Matters
Can a building help a child grow? At Faha International School, we believe the answer is a resounding “Yes.” The physical environment of our school is strategically designed to act as a “Third Teacher,” specifically focused on Holistic Development & Well-being. From the colors of our walls to the layout of our labs, every inch of Faha International is built to inspire happiness and health.
The Science of Stimulating Environments
Our classrooms are far from the drab, grey rooms of the past. To promote Holistic Development & Well-being, we utilize:
- Natural Light: Known to improve mood and focus.
- Flexible Seating: Allowing students to move and collaborate, which reduces physical restlessness.
- Interactive Zones: Where students can engage in “Sensory Play,” a vital part of early childhood brain development.
Tech with a Human Touch: The Labs
Even in our Science and Computer Labs, the focus remains on Holistic Development & Well-being. We teach “Digital Wellness”—helping students understand how to use technology without becoming overwhelmed by it. By mastering tools in a collaborative setting, students build “Mastery Confidence,” a key component of emotional well-being.
Spiritual Reflection in the Mosque
In the hustle and bustle of school life, the Mosque area at Faha International School provides a much-needed “reset button.” This space allows students to pause and reflect, which is scientifically proven to lower cortisol levels and improve concentration. This integration of faith and education is central to our vision of Holistic Development & Well-being.
Active Play and Social Growth
Our play area is a theater for social Holistic Development & Well-being. Whether it’s through a game of football or a creative role-play scenario, students are learning the vital art of human connection. We monitor these spaces to ensure they are inclusive and safe, allowing every child—regardless of their athletic ability—to feel the joy of movement.
Conclusion: A Sanctuary for Success
Faha International School is a sanctuary where children are protected, nurtured, and challenged. By focusing on Holistic Development & Well-being, we provide our students with the “Internal Toolkit” they need to navigate life’s ups and downs. We invite you to join our family and experience the difference that a holistic education can make.
