With over 50 years of experience, we are extremely proud of our diverse and progressive learning community which benefits from an excellent curriculum delivered by our dedicated and passionate practitioners. It is a place where not only are we concerned with your child’s academic progress but with the whole child, ensuring that by the time they leave us, they not only achieve the qualifications they require but also the life skills to be successful in today’s world. Grammar students are prepared for the challenges ahead and ready for life as global citizens.

Equally important is your child’s personal development. We are a fully inclusive school that offers excellent support. Our excellent care and personalized approach to every student make Grammar a very special place to be in.

As a new pupil of our school, your child will be warmly welcomed into the Grammar family and our dedicated team works assiduously to ensure that our pupils feel supported and encouraged at every stage of their educational pathway.

Our Senior Leadership Team brings a recognised education pedigree with a combined average of over 20 years of leading outstanding schools, here in Dubai and in the UK.

At Hartland International School, academic excellence is more than just making good grades. We combine a strong values-based British Education with the best international approaches to create an environment where students are encouraged to think and question.

The enrichment programme is part of a comprehensive educational experience for our students. With over 150 clubs and enrichments activities to choose from, learning at Hartland International School is not just confined to the traditional classroom setting.

The Hartland International School strives to be an inclusive school with a commitment to catering to students of myriad needs and abilities. Students will find that they are supported not only by their class teachers during lessons but also by a cohesive staff team that puts the child at the centre of all we do.

It is essential that we form a strong partnership between our school, each child and their parents. In our meetings, we share with you our vision and our targets and expectations for your child for the year ahead, but we will also seek to understand your aspirations for your child so that we develop these personal goals and targets together.

We strive to nurture independent learners and critical thinkers, with the skills to form lasting relationships with others and the ability to manage themselves in any situation. 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.

Almost all of our class teachers come from British schools and are British trained, which reflects our commitment to the British curriculum, and all have a minimum of two to three years’ teaching experience, ensuring that the school can benefit from their wisdom and best UK teaching practices.

When our students complete Year 6, they transition to a range of schools, however our sister schools, RGS Guildford, Dubai and Horizon International School, offer a stepping stone for Horizon children to remain within the Cognita family of schools. 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.

We place great emphasis on our values and community spirit, which support us in our mission ‘Everyone Counts, Everyone Contributes, Everyone Succeeds’.

We are located in the heart of Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, with our facilities enabling us to give every child the opportunity to thrive. We are very proud of the balance we provide between academic rigour and creative and sporting pursuits.

Our approach to child-focused personalised learning affords students a premium quality educational experience whilst ensuring value for money. Our dynamic, experienced and highly qualified team supports us in bringing our vision to life. It is our belief that we are all leaders, whether it is leading learning in the classroom, leading a team, leading children or leading adults.

We are keen to make a difference, and we very much look forward to welcoming you to our community, and to seeing Horizon International School in action.

​At JAS, they want your child to have a balanced experience in school. They see this as including academic, sporting and extracurricular success in equal measures. They align this with a core focus on teaching our students how to think, rather than what to think.

​Excellence comes from that educational focus and from knowing that you are part of a very special place, where thousands of families have gone before you and taken that JAS magic into the world.

From the first day of school in the early years through to the final days of sixth form, JAS will bring out the best in your son or daughter. Allied with their sense of community and parental involvement JAS offers your family a sense of belonging while you may be far from home.

Jumeirah College Dubai is an outstanding British school in Dubai– not just in terms of academics, but also in terms of developing each and every one of the students socially, physically and emotionally.

They don’t believe in comparing our students to average benchmarks. Instead, they focus on understanding students as learners and individuals, exploring and embracing every opportunity to encourage and support them in their learning and growth.

With students from over 59 nationalities, they are a truly international school with a truly global mindset. They instil these values in our students, moulding them into successful, well-rounded, and open-minded international citizens of the 21st century.

Delivering The National Curriculum for England from Years 7 to 13, they are registered with the DFE, Department for Education and Skills in London, and as an examination centre for the appropriate UK examination boards.

For a school that started with just 17 children in a small apartment building, JESS is now a leading international education institution with two campuses, three schools and over 2,300 students from across the world.

In the mid-1970s, expats were drawn to work in the oil industry in the Middle East.  It became apparent that there was a need for good-quality, affordable education, for the children of these English-speaking expat families.

And so, JESS was created in a building near the Deira Clock Tower in 1975. Within a year, with a growing number of students, and thanks to a plot of land gifted by HH Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the Ruler of Dubai, JESS moved into a villa in Jumeirah. There, JESS Jumeirah expanded into what is now one of the leading primary schools in Dubai and continues to thrive.

In 2005, the demand for school places necessitated construction on a new site and the Arabian Ranches campus opened in what was then a brand new community on the very outskirts of Dubai. This campus houses both a primary and secondary school, giving rise to ‘three schools, two campuses, one JESS’.

Their success today is a descendant of the foresight shown in 1975 and they now work hard to cement our legacy for the next generation of JESS students.
