We are clear about the knowledge and skills students need to succeed academically. Beyond that, our school is equipped with innovative curricula, a research-backed learning approach and high-impact assessment tools, all designed to deepen each student’s understanding.
We follow a learning improvement framework which monitors performance against selected criteria proven to best support student learning. This helps us enhance our approach to have the greatest impact on students’ success.
We believe every student should develop the skills to reflect, adapt and grow with confidence - skills that go beyond academics and prepare them for life.
Backed by Cambridge University through Camtree, International Schools Partnership’s Life Competencies framework ensures students gain the essential skills to make informed decisions, build strong relationships and thrive in their ever-changing world.
These skills are embedded throughout the learning experience, ensuring that every student actively develops the mindset and capabilities needed to succeed - now and in the future.

These opportunities bring students together across countries and cultures, helping them think independently, communicate effectively and adapt to new challenges - skills they will use for life.

I never thought much about swimming until PE lessons at school, where I discovered my passion and talent for it only to soon win gold in the 100m backstroke and silver in the butterfly at the Emirates International Swimming Cup. I now have secured a spot as well on the swim team.
