Al Mawahib Talents Development Program
Discovering, Nurturing and Celebrating Every Child's Unique Talents
Our Vision and Philosophy
At Al Mawahib British Private School, we believe that every child possesses unique talents waiting to be discovered. Our comprehensive approach embraces multiple intelligences, ensuring that talents in all domains—from analytical thinking to artistic expression, from athletic prowess to ethical leadership—are equally valued and cultivated.
When children's natural talents are identified early and nurtured consistently, they flourish into exceptional capabilities that distinguish our students on global platforms. Our program creates a continuous pathway for excellence that evolves with students' development, preparing them for outstanding achievement in higher education, careers, and community leadership.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our comprehensive identification process uses multiple methods including observation by specially trained teachers, age-appropriate assessments, portfolio evaluation, and parent input. We look beyond traditional academic measures to recognize talents across all intelligence domains.
Yes! While early identification provides the longest developmental journey, we have designed entry points at every age level. New students undergo our talent identification process upon enrollment, and can join appropriate talent programs immediately.
Many gifted children have strengths in multiple domains. Our program allows students to develop primary and secondary talent areas. As students mature, they often choose to specialize, but some successfully pursue multiple talent pathways throughout their educational journey.
Twice-exceptional students (those who are both gifted and have learning differences) receive customized support plans that address both their exceptional talents and learning needs. Our specialists are trained to recognize and support these unique learners.
Most schools offer enrichment as an add-on to their standard curriculum. At Al Mawahib, talent development is integrated into our educational approach. We provide continuous pathways from identification through to international recognition, with specialized resources, expert coaching, and progressively challenging opportunities.
