K-12 Education
Obeikan provides enriching programs that prepare post-secondary students for success in their chosen occupations.
The K-12 years lay the groundwork for developing the skilled nationals that every society needs, whether students continue to higher education, vocational education or proceed directly to the job market. All curricula feature a robust classroom experience augmented with interactive content, state-of-the-art e-learning technology and at-home support for learners and their parents.
Obeikan Education designs and delivers global-standard K-12 curricula for math, natural sciences, Islamic, and localized English Editions. These are key academic content areas, as much innovation today is centered on the digital transformation and the urgent need to prepare students to the market needs while focusing on pre-engineering skills, robotics, coding, renewable energies, automotive and space industries, Internet of things, Artificial intelligence, and 3D modeling.
Areas covered are Math and Science, Social and Religious Studies, English Language Teaching (general and specialized), and life skills. All supplemented by digital solutions and online portals.
