Queen International School is a place where the concern is not only the child’s academic progress but the whole child, ensuring that by the time they leave, they not only achieve the qualifications they require but also the life-skills to be successful in today’s world.

This means that the work revolves completely around each individual child so that they can achieve their potential, academically, socially and emotionally.

At Queen, they pursue very high standards of teaching and learning and invest extensive time and effort in the professional development of their teaching staff.

The teachers seek to challenge and inspire students with high expectations and use a variety of teaching methods that enable students to reach their potential.

Their approach to learning therefore involves:

• Emphasis on subject knowledge and passion on the part of the teacher in order to inspire a love of the subject in their pupils
• Experiential learning is the starting point for all learning
• Classroom teaching that carries the lesson to students with vigour and pace and stretches students beyond the constraints of the syllabus
• Attention is given to questioning techniques in order to mix higher-level complex questions with more straightforward questions
• Well-structured lessons that involve group work and individual work, supported by stimulating resources
• Regular marking of student’s work that is detailed, individual and shows clearly how to improve/extend
• The use of Assessment for Learning (AfL) techniques; to identify prior knowledge, engage students actively, boost feedback (two ways) and support differentiated instruction where needed

Their vision is to be a world-class school committed to well-being, excellence and opportunity for all. Repton’s philosophy of working in close partnership with parents ensures your child’s successful path to an exciting and fulfilling future.

Reptonians from ages 3-18 benefit from world-class facilities, talented UK-trained staff, and innovative learning experiences within our stunning campus in Nad Al Sheba. Your child’s ambition and learning journey is further enhanced by an extensive enrichment program that includes overseas trips, inspirational speakers, bespoke career advice, leadership opportunities, and connections with the worldwide Repton Alumni.

Their outstanding care and guidance develop future leaders who demonstrate empathy, confidence, entrepreneurialism, and a growth mindset. They expect the highest standards of behaviour at all times and are extremely proud of the Reptonians’ exceptional academic, sporting, and performing arts achievements.

At Safa British School, they educate and nurture the whole child, providing opportunities for each student to discover and develop their unique talents and abilities in a variety of areas including emotional, spiritual, academic, cultural, moral, linguistic, creative and physical.

They create a culture of achievement within a vibrant and stimulating learning environment ensuring positive reinforcement at all levels of ability through appropriately differentiated expectations.

In this school, students will discover the confidence to explore the strength of their imagination and sometimes even the power to overwhelm. They will come to enjoy the surprise of inspirational achievement and the experience of sharing it together. Everyone will expect the best from everyone else.

When the time comes to leave, their aim is that students will take the memory of a remarkable journey and a determination to go on to be the best that they can be.
