Summer School Gives You the Edge

Filed under Fun Stuff!, School News, Student Work

Summer is back and once again everyone is wondering how to make the most of their holiday.   If summer school is on your list of things to do, here are some great reasons for you to go ahead and sign up:

  1. The brain is a muscle and it needs exercise.  The more you learn, the more powerful you brain becomes. Don’t get out of the healthy habit of learning!
  2. According to researchers, you can forget up to 30% of what you have been taught during the academic year, if you don’t engage in any mental activity during the summer holiday.
  3. This break from school gives you the opportunity to brush up and improve on your existing academic knowledge. Getting a step ahead during the holiday might be a little sneaky, but it is not cheating!
  4. Should you decide to concentrate on English this summer, you will be amazed at how much confidence it generates. This could be the key ingredient to making that academic breakthrough.
  5. Learning is an enjoyable experience!  Most institutes have smaller class sizes so you get more chance to interact with your teacher and classmates, and practice skills taught. Make the most of it!
  6. You will make brand new friends from all over the country. This is an opportunity to broaden your horizons and interact with fabulous, interesting and exciting people your age.
  7. When you return to school, college or university, you will be amazed at how much you have advanced in one or two short courses.

Let summer be a time that you reward yourself for the hard work you put in all year, by making sure that you stay ahead of the game.  It is up to you….

Remember “A child educated only at school is an uneducated child” (George Santayana).

Modern Gulf Institute has opened registrations early this year due to the popular demand of their Summer School. Numbers are increasing by the day and classes are filling up.

MGI students support Earth Hour initiative 2011

We all too often get tangled up in our consumer driven day to day lives that we forget about the bigger picture. Sadly, for a very long time, people have looked around and noticed only the differences between themselves and others. They pay attention to the varied shades of skin, ways of praying, languages spoken and mealtime traditions. What humanity has forgotten is that we have one magnificent thing in common, without which, none of us would be around… Her name is Mother Earth.

We have been warned time and time again about the detrimental effects of our wasteful ways and lack of concern for our planet. Save water! Don’t litter! Use less power! Turn off the lights! Use less gas! So, where is it exactly that we all plan to live when our time runs out? The joke is on us fellow polluters. We might be late out of the starting block, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t finish the race.

Modern Gulf Institute is proudly taking part in Earth Hour 2011. Earth Hour is held on the last Saturday of March every year, and all it involves is switching off your power for one hour, between 8:30 and 9:30pm. It is estimated that over 130 countries will be taking part, and we are pleased to add Oman to that number. Let us show the world that we are paying attention to this beautiful world and that we too intend to do our part to save the planet.
