School Transformation Projects
nafda’s school transformation process begins with meaningful community engagement. We work closely with students, teachers, parents, and local organizations to identify the school’s most pressing priorities. From there, we support the creation of sustainable solutions, drawing on a range of strategies such as coaching, partnerships, and community involvement. By empowering school teams and fostering collaboration, we ensure that the change is driven from within, resulting in lasting transformation that extends beyond the classroom and into the broader community.
Equitable and Inclusive Education
Create safe, inclusive learning environments that meet diverse student needs. This ensures confidence and support through their learning journey.
STEM/STEAM
Nurture a maker’s mindset in students by encouraging critical thinking, solution-oriented creativity, innovation, and experimentation. Through hands-on learning in coding, robotics, 3D printing, and craftsmanship, students develop practical skills with a strong emphasis on societal impact.
Media and Information Literacy
Equip students with the skills to critically navigate and create in the digital landscape.
Student Skills Development
Foster experiential, inquiry-based learning through hands-on projects that integrate technology, sustainability, and problem-solving.
What is Scaling?
Scaling is the process of expanding successful school transformation projects to new communities while tailoring each project to their unique needs. It involves experienced schools mentoring new ones, creating a ripple effect of collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and sustainability. This approach equips schools with the tools, resources, and networks to drive lasting impact.
One success story of many: Scaling a STEAM project through Maroun Abboud Secondary School
Maroun Abboud Secondary School successfully expanded a STEAM project designed to help students apply skills like coding, robotics, and design thinking to real-world challenges. Starting with three mentee schools, the project later extended to two more, each setting up dedicated learning spaces. This mentorship-based model has since been adopted by various schools across different projects, nurturing a culture of shared learning, innovation, and peer-driven growth.
