AIA also focuses on creating a strong understanding of the social sciences. Beyond simply understanding the society around them better, this focus enables students to form a strong personal identity that is drawn from a deep and informed perspective of history that embraces their place in society while equally understanding and respecting the society of others. To that end, AIA has authored a world history curriculum for grades 6 to 10 that will be taught in English and Arabic.
