The Hiba Arts department is comprised of visual art, design technology, music and performing arts. We offer a program introduced to pupils in primary and continued into secondary junior high in arts-specialist lessons. The Hiba Arts route continues into IGCSE with music, drama and art & design exam courses and beyond into IBDP study with music, theatre and visual arts. Thus, we hope to offer pupils an arts curriculum that is continually 'arts-rich' not merely 'inclusive of arts'. Early primary lessons therefore facilitate creative play and confident exploration, then explicit skill-development occurs as we move into middle and upper primary. Contextual understanding of each art form is formalised; and this leads organically into preparatory work in junior high in readiness of IGCSE study and then the IBDP.
