Academic and Social Support Program
The program focuses on three main factors contributing to the high dropout rates in schools in Jerusalem: low academic achievement, behavioral and social problems, and the absence of positive role models in the lives of Jerusalemite students. It adopts a preventive approach targeting children aged 6-12 with low academic performance, aiming to develop their academic skills in Arabic, English, and Mathematics. It also aims to enhance their social skills to improve their positive adaptation and handling of daily life challenges through groups led by volunteers from various Palestinian universities, who receive necessary training in group management and provide academic and social support to children.
The program includes international academic programs designed to encourage children to learn using modern interactive tools and methods such as mental arithmetic programs, engineering for kids, learning with Potter, and others.
Efforts are made to create a supportive environment for child development by working with the most influential parties in their lives, including parents, to create a more stable family environment that contributes to the child's positive growth and development. Teachers are also engaged to improve the classroom environment to support the child's development, skills, and creativity.
