SIGS is unique among private schools in Khartoum. Our mode of operation includes both age-old (tried and proven) methodologies as well as new methodologies such as the Montessori Method. We encourage discipline, but we also want the children to love learning. We bring this about by being as realistic as possible. There are field trips as well as in and out of class projects for every subject. We teach what they can benefit from today.

We at SIGS understand that discipline is the key to learning. If you take, for example, of the early scholars, Al Ghazali insisted in his “Knowledge Book”, that the student must be disciplined to listen to his teacher and follow his instruction, while the teacher must discipline himself to speak only the truth to his students and give them guidance. Our staff works to achieve this.

Learning, or education, has never been easy: there are two types of people in the world; those who seek knowledge (and embrace it) and those who have knowledge thrust upon them (and run from it). We do not want our students to hate school; we want them to have a positive attitude towards learning so it will be easy for them. In this way our students will have a healthy attitude toward learning and the benefits it brings.

The SIGS curriculum is in line with the Sudanese Ministry of Education guidelines from 1^st to 8^th grades as well as the IGCSE. We think, and most would agree, the Sudanese Primary and Secondary curricula are stronger in quality than other systems. The general national exams, for example SAT or GCE of the US and Britain, have become quite a lot more sophisticated than they were 20 – 25 years ago. Now, students must be able to analyze and they must be able to express themselves. So we are expending more energy on students being able to understand rather than memorize information.

Therefore, when we, the SIGS community, are teaching and learning, we try to use the whole environment around us to learn from. For example, if we are studying Geometry, we might take on the task of measuring the height of a tree by using geometric principles or if we are reading about farms, we might field-trip off to Tuti Island. We wish our students to have a balance of theory and practice to learn from.

We want SIGS students to be useful to themselves and their community, to be able to give assistance in some form to those who need and be ready to participate in community affairs. For that reason, we try to teach our syllabus so that they will benefit not only in the future, but also now in their every day affairs.

Secondary

IGCSE is a three-year course that gives you what you need to get into most universities in the world and it begins with Sudan International Grammar School, with a full, effective academic programme for science, humanities or commercial studies.

The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (abbreviated IGCSE) is an internationally recognized qualification for school students, typically in the 14-16 age group. The IGCSE is an international alternative to many popular national curricula. It is a qualification based on individual subjects of study, meaning one receives an "IGCSE" qualification for each subject one takes. Typical "core" curricula for IGCSE candidates includes a First Language, Second Language, Mathematics and the Sciences. IGCSE candidates then choose a number of additional courses ranging from Social Sciences to Creative Arts.

The IGCSE exams require informed, purposeful preparation. Its academic worth is comparable to many Secondary School curricula worldwide, such as England's GCSE or the American GED. The IGCSE prepares students for further academic study including progression to A Level study. Cambridge IGCSE provides a broad and flexible study program and covers subjects from a variety of areas: Languages, Humanities, Social Sciences, Mathematics, Creative, Technical and Vocational.

Most IGCSE subjects offer a choice of tiered examination: Core or Extended papers (in Cambridge), and foundation or higher papers (in Edexcel). This is designed to make IGCSE suitable for students with varying levels of ability. In some subjects, IGCSE can be taken with or without coursework. Cambridge IGCSE allows teaching to be placed in a localized context, making it relevant in different regions. It is intended to be suitable for students whose first language may not be English and this is acknowledged throughout the examination process.

Up until recently, most schools offering the IGCSE were private International Schools for expatriate children around the world. In many countries and institutions, the IGCSE satisfies the entry requirement for university courses. SIGS is in its first year and this is a good time to join the institution that will give you the individual attention you need for such an important move.
