Early Stages

Right from the very first day that they skip into school, our children are eager and determined to understand how their world works. They explore, discover, search for, and stumble upon ideas and principles that surround them. And the best tool they use for this is Play.

At the Foundation Stage in Dubai Scholars Private School, we call this, Purposeful Powerful Play.

Primary Stage

The Primary School at Dubai Schools is a curriculum designed to enhance imaginative, diverse and creative learning for children within the robust academic environment we are known for.

Outstanding teaching and learning opportunities are grounded in our delivery of the National Curriculum of England and Wales, an international British curriculum.

Lessons focusing student’s personal learning targets are identified throughout the curriculum; assessment is both formative and summative allowing teachers to educate the entirety of a student’s wide range of talents, curiosity and proclivities.

Secondary Stage

We provide students in our Secondary school with a stimulating British National curriculum, leading to IGCSE qualifications and our A Level program. These qualifications are internationally recognized for entry into higher education or employment.

Students benefit from personalized learning with small class sizes and strong support. We value and celebrate our students’ achievements.  We regard a close working relationship between school and home as vital to the success of each student.
