At H.H. Shaikh Rashid Al Maktoum Pakistan School, our top concern for each child is their safety. We make sure every child feels safe in the school environment.

While academic excellence is at the core of our teaching program (Horizon English School results rank us in the top 0.5% of schools in the UK and we were recently recognized as being one of the top 25 schools in the UAE), we are not an exams factory and our emphasis is on the well-rounded child, with the strength and self-belief to make mistakes and then to learn from them. Music, sport, art and design, and performance, all have an integral part to play in our curriculum and we strongly believe that every child has something to offer.

We now have over 1,000 children at Horizon but continue to tailor our learning to make sure that each child feels included, stimulated and encouraged to develop their own passions and interests. We are always looking to change and improve the learning environments for the children and in recent years we have built a STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths and Moral) room, developed our inclusion department, enhanced our sports facilities and provided innovative outdoor playground spaces.

Whether returning to a secondary school in the UK or transitioning to another international school, the quality of education that students receive at Horizon sets them up perfectly for the next phase.
