“We are not just another British curriculum school in Dubai – we are more than a school; we are a community, an experience, and a way of life that nurtures excellence in every aspect. Our community is culturally rich and diverse, and as a school, we recognise and celebrate this, helping each individual to ‘be the me I choose to be.’ Our students are many things, but most of all, they are themselves. It is this which prepares them for the unknown and exciting life in the world beyond school.”
