ISAS students encouraged to utilize summer break positively

Dubai, United Arab Emirates (July 8, 2015):  International School of Arts and Sciences (ISAS) - managed by leading academic solutions provider Academia Management Solutions International (AMSI) - strongly believes in encouraging its students to make the most of their summer vacations. Spanning across the peak summer months, the break is much awaited by students and parents alike, and carry with it the capacity for both motivated learning as well as relaxed days.

With the aim of keeping students gainfully occupied during the break, ISAS actively propagates a number of trusted methods. Owing to the harsh summer heat, most practises are dedicated to fostering the brain cells as parents prefer their children to spend time more constructively. Giving summer homework from the curriculum taught at school, for instance, ensures that students are still in touch with the syllabus when school resumes. Parents are also encouraged to explore various academic and non-academic summer programmes designed at honing or acquiring new skills – be it higher level remedial maths & sciences classes, learning musical instruments, participating in sports training camps, creative writing, public speaking and so on.

Throughout the academic year, students of ISAS are simulated to fortify their reading skills – an activity that is encouraged to be taken up with more vigour during the long break. Bearing in mind the wondrous advantages of sharpening literary skills, books ignite creativity, rejuvenate the mind and helps the student in starting the new academic year with a fresh perspective.

ISAS also advises the parents to use the gap in overcoming challenges that students may have in grasping concepts, especially for subjects like mathematics and foreign languages. According to the teachers, novel techniques at home and integrating the fun element can at times do the trick that a conventional classroom may take longer to achieve.

For families who travel in the summer break, students are encouraged to chronicle their journey, write about the new places they visit and what they’ve learnt from the new cities and experiences. Following the vacation, ISAS students are asked to submit a report on the way their holidays were spent – an exercise that allows them to reflect, record and share their unique experiences.
