Academic Performance

As a British School Overseas (BSO) school situated here in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) we value bringing together the best of time-tested teaching strategies and high-standards, with the best of twenty-first century teaching strategies that are student-centered, and develop student-learning skills.

All of our teachers are knowledgeable and well-trained in the Cambridge curriculum. We are proud to boast that some of our teachers are Cambridge examiners. We have a very effective professional development programme that ensures that our teachers are keeping up-to-date with the latest teaching practices, while building on their firm foundations of 'quality first teaching'. This means that students enjoy well-structured, meaningful lessons that are designed with the needs of the individual students' in mind from their inception.

To walk down one of our corridors would be to encounter a range of activities taking place. Whether it's group work, a teacher carefully leading an upper secondary class through a past-paper question, Kagan strategies, students collaborating together, students enjoying differentiated activities that match their learning needs, or students' involved in an engaging debate or inquiry task, we are pleased that our students are growing in their learning skills.

Our focus on quality first teaching, with a view on impact on student attainment means that we value high-standards. This is reflected in our students who we are proud to share are world toppers for Cambridge subjects.
