Active CourseOrganised in partnership with the University of Glasgow and NGhomes, this hugely successful course allowed young people from diverse backgrounds expand their horizons by exploring big issues like community, discrimination, power and globalisation. Students raised their voices and shared ideas in discussions and workshops exploring important local and global topics. This interactive approach enabled them to gain rich insights and experiences as they worked and learned alongside others. |
GAU School
Our inspirational GAU School offers support to children and young people. We know that many families face difficulties in supporting their children’s learning in primary and high school and we are here to help. We know it works, because our students are getting fantastic results, achieving A grades in their high school exams – you can read more about that at the foot of the page.
We offer classes in the English language to help our young community members with reading, writing and speaking the language. Our fantastic teachers also provide lessons in maths and, for secondary school age pupils, English literature, biology and chemistry.
GAU School also offers mother language classes to give young people full reading, writing and speaking skills in the languages of Afghanistan. And it gives young people a chance to make friends with others of a similar background.
Sessions take place in-person and online during standard term time.
