English

Students at our Multilingual School in Mirdif gain fluency in English, with immersive classes from Early Years to Sixth Form. In Early Years, our young learners are introduced to English through storytelling, phonics, songs and interactive play, helping them develop strong communication skills. As they progress through Primary and Secondary School, students continue to develop fluency in reading, writing and spoken English across all subjects, preparing them for success in IGCSE and A Level qualifications.

Arabic

Students are introduced to Arabic in Early Years and it remains a core part of their curriculum throughout their education, following the requirements of the UAE Ministry of Education. Lessons are adapted for both native and non-native Arabic speakers and focus on listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. From playful exposure in the EYFS to more structured academic learning in later years, students develop a deep understanding of the Arabic language and its cultural significance.

French

Students begin learning French as a modern foreign language from Key Stage 2, allowing them to explore new linguistic and cultural perspectives. Through engaging and interactive lessons, they build a foundation of basic vocabulary and conversational skills. From Key Stages 3 to 5, students can continue to study French, with the option to take it as an IGCSE and A Level subject, further developing their global competence and communication skills.

Empowering every learner

Students develop the English skills they need to succeed academically and socially through engaging, inclusive and well-structured language experiences.
