2023
AUIB Model Schools, KG and Primary, will open in September 2023. They will be based at The American University of Iraq - Baghdad (AUIB) in state-of -the-art buildings providing education for the children of Baghdad and further afield. The schools will deliver a modern English language medium curriculum, based on the American Common Core Standards Curriculum and an Arabic curriculum (Arabic and Islamic Education) based on the Iraqi Curriculum Framework. AUIB Model Schools will be inclusive and reach out to all students irrespective of their creed colour or nationality to ensure that their needs are met through our modern curriculum.
The schools will be affiliated to the AUIB College of Education. This partnership will ensure that modern pedagogical approaches to teaching, learning and research will be integrated throughout all aspects of school life.
Education plays the most important role in helping our young people face life’s challenges by developing all their skills to prepare them for their future as global citizens. AUIB Model Schools’ curriculum will provide enquiry-based learning experiences based on modern teaching methodologies and using up to date resources. Students will have access to
information and communications technology (ICT) and internationally benchmarked assessment. They will be encouraged to be critical thinkers, to collaborate and to innovate.

Who We Are
The International Association of Laboratory Schools (IALS) is an international association of laboratory and university affiliated schools engaged in practices of teacher training, curriculum development, research, professional development, and educational experimentation for the purpose of supporting member’s schools and as a voice speaking for the improvement of learning for all children.
Traditionally laboratory schools' commitment has been
to assist in preparing teachers while delivering quality instructional programs for children in the classroom. These schools are affiliated with a college or university
for specific purposes that go beyond the scope of traditional public and private institutions. Over the
years, the laboratory schools have changed to
reflect the diverse needs of the teaching
professional and have often led the way in
improving the science and art of teaching.
