Knowing that our children face challenges throughout their lives, Cedar School has a responsibility to prepare young people for these challenges. Our history of success also tells us that we need to embed a knowledge-based approach to learning to ensure that children can learn in depth.

At Cedar School, we prepare children for further education and employment by providing them with a rich and rigorous academic curriculum and opportunities to apply their knowledge in a variety of real-life situations.

Our academic staff know every child’s strengths and tailors the curriculum appropriately. Our enrichment programme develops every child’s character and encourages risk-taking, critical thinking, decision making and working collaboratively.

We believe in the power of student choice because choice allows freedom and autonomy in the classroom and leads to more engaged learning. The Citizen’s team will identify potential, stimulate passion, nurture talent and celebrate bravery in our students to incubate the entrepreneurs, creators, visionaries and thinkers of tomorrow.

Our aim is for every child to feel at one with the world in which they live and leave with a deep understanding and empathy for all cultures, creeds and civilizations. We help our students to develop a deep understanding of issues that face humanity today and to become responsible stewards of our planet.

We recognise the need to not only strengthen our children’s physical health but also nurture their mental health, which plays a crucial role in a child’s overall wellbeing. Our children will learn to safely and seamlessly use technology alongside traditional methods to enhance their learning.

We have over 80 different nationalities represented across our school and this diversity is fundamental to the community nature of the school. Exceptional facilities provide wonderful opportunities for a holistic approach to education; sport, performing arts, academic, technological, leadership and creative pathways are all on offer, ensuring our students enjoy enriching and varied school experiences within our classrooms and beyond.

Our curriculum model is based upon the English National Curriculum, but goes significantly beyond the minimum expectations, covering a diverse range of subjects. Our personalised, play-based and continuous provision in the Early Years ensures that students are rigorously assessed against the prime and specific areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage framework. This focuses on developing key learning skills and the foundations for accessing the Primary Curriculum. In primary, students receive an enriching and broad curriculum offer, which includes the delivery of several non-core subjects.

Our senior students take the Cambridge Board IGCSE examinations in Year 11 and move into the authorised International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) or International Baccalaureate Career-Related Programme (IBCP) in Years 12 and 13. These highly regarded and internationally recognised pre-university qualifications enable worldwide university entrance for our students. At all stages, the curriculum is delivered using innovative and engaging teaching approaches which address the needs of every student and focus on developing crucial skills for life.

At Deira International School, students work in an environment where they are stretched and challenged, and have their expectations raised to achieve demanding targets. This is evidenced in our latest results, in which we’re proud to say that our students have done incredibly well. Such success is a result of the partnership between the school, our students and their parents through our commitment to parental engagement.

We place every student in a position where they are afforded choices through their lives, unconstrained by the expectations of others, by their own ambitions, and by external requirements and boundaries.

Our students’ success cannot be defined by qualifications alone. Students leave the school as dynamic and impactful global citizens, fully-equipped to play a leading role in whichever walk of life they choose. To achieve this, they are encouraged to participate in the extensive array of opportunities that exist beyond the classroom.

Our excellent team ensures that every student is guided and cared for, working hard to ensure that their individual needs are met. Students leave Deira International School accomplished in academic skills and become architects of lives that exceed expectations.

Dubai British School Jumeirah Park is a friendly, hardworking, fun and passionate school packed with dedicated individuals who recognise the importance of an all-round education. Our mission is to unearth the unique talents of each and every one of our students whether they are academic, sporting, expressive or artistic.

We are a unique school that places the wellbeing of our students and the interests of our community at the heart of everything we do

It is our goal to ensure that every DBSJP student is given the tools to make a positive difference during their time with us and beyond – to their own life and to other’s lives. Under the shared Dubai British School’s vision of “Enjoy, Aspire, Achieve”, we provide the facilities, resources and inspiration in which students are able to enjoy their schooling experience, have high aspirations for all that they do and ultimately achieve their life goals.

We achieve this through our extensive, balanced and ambitious curriculum.

Our staff and students operate in an atmosphere that promotes self-confidence, and excellence and celebrates success.

Our Core Values

1. 1. Commitment: Committed to the students, parents, education, & the school
   2. Integrity: Honesty in delivering education and providing the best service to our constituents
   3. Culture & Religion: Commitment to the values of Muslim & Arab cultures including religious beliefs
   4. Excellence: We are satisfied with nothing less than the very best

Our students do have a long track record of excelling academically and this year our GCSE results surpassed all previous records with an impressive 93.9% of students achieving grades 9-7.

However, our enviable reputation stems from our consistent and sustained excellence in what we see as the four pillars of the College: sporting, creative, philanthropic as well and academic endeavour.

We champion this broader holistic education in the great tradition of the British independent schools which recognize that by producing socially articulate and well-rounded students we are preparing them for their future far better than any exam ever will.

We are now the school of choice for parents who are well-established within Dubai and the majority of families who choose the College are those who have lived and worked in the emirate for well over a decade. The reassuring sense of history and depth of institutional memory, which pervade the College, give the school a welcome stability within the Dubai educational landscape.

When families join Dubai College they become lifelong members of an institution, which puts their child at the heart of everything we do. Our not-for-profit status means that every dirham we charge is reinvested in the students and the school. The high-quality teaching and excellent extra-curricular provision make Dubai College a very special place to be and we hope you can see why the College has earned itself an outstanding reputation since its establishment in 1978.
