Classes & Curriculum

The Junior School at Qubaa Muslim School follows the Competency-Based Education (CBE) curriculum, catering to Grades 7, 8, and 9. It focuses on nurturing learners’ skills, creativity, and critical thinking through hands-on, project-based learning. The program blends strong academic foundations with moral guidance, preparing students for senior school and future career pathways while promoting responsibility, innovation, and Islamic values.

GRADE 7

Grade 7 marks the beginning of Junior School under the CBE curriculum, focusing on helping learners transition from primary to a more specialized level of study. At this stage, students explore a broad range of subjects, engage in practical projects, and build key competencies in communication, problem-solving, and digital literacy — all guided by strong moral and Islamic values.

Admissions

GRADE 8

Grade 8 builds on the foundation laid in Grade 7, allowing learners to deepen their understanding across subjects while enhancing creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. Students engage in more hands-on projects and assessments that prepare them for advanced learning in Grade 9, with continued emphasis on moral values, discipline, and technological competence.

GRADE 9

Grade 9 marks the final stage of Junior School, where learners consolidate their knowledge and skills gained in earlier grades. It focuses on preparing students for senior secondary education through project-based learning, leadership development, and career guidance. Emphasis is placed on responsibility, innovation, and applying Islamic and academic values in real-life situations.
