Understanding American Curriculum English Tutoring in Dubai, UAE

The American curriculum schools across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the UAE work according to US State standards and their 'College-Readiness' framework. Their English subject is designed to help students build reading, writing, speaking and research skills from middle school through high school. Families looking for an American Curriculum English Tutor in Dubai often want to understand how each of these skills is developed and evaluated.

The American Curriculum is not an exams-only system. Rather, it is standards-based and continuously assessed. So, instead of being evaluated through a single final exam, students pursuing American Curriculum English will be assessed through the coursework, projects and writing tasks assigned across the academic year.
