Al Jazeera Academy uses a Ta'allum Group curriculum across Infant, Junior, and Secondary; the Secondary program is based on the National Curriculum for England and Wales, adapted to Qatar's MOE requirements and Ta'allum policies. In Secondary (Years 7–12), students progress through Key Stages 3–5, with Year 9 beginning IGCSE courses in core subjects, Year 10 selecting up to four additional IGCSE subjects, and Year 12 offering AS Level courses, with Ta'allum partner schools developing two-year A Levels. Arabic and Islamic Studies are compulsory, with Qatar History and Makarem also integrated as part of MOE directives. Infant and Junior curricula are UK-based, with Ta'allum Infant Schools following the UK National Curriculum for English (EYFS) and Year 1–2 combining English, Maths, Science, Design/Technology, Computing, Qatar History, Life Skills and PE with Arabic, Islamic Studies, Holy Quran and Makarem. Across all stages, literacy and numeracy are prioritized, technology is embedded (tablets and AI tools), and the curriculum integrates Tarbeya values, Islamic identity and Qatar's heritage.
