MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Our vision is deeply inspired by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council commitment to educational excellence: “We have a responsibility to equip our students with new skills and knowledge that will help them pursue excellence and success in the future. The ‘Dubai Schools’ initiative represents a new phase in our long-term education plan created to support the sustainability of our development journey.”

We recognize that all students learn in different ways and possess unique talents. Our aim is to discover how each child learns best and tailor instruction to meet their specific needs. We offer a high-quality international education with a focus on achieving good academic outcomes via New York State Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS). The curriculum is broad and balanced to support students in acquiring the necessary skills to drive the UAE national agenda while preserving local culture.

Central to our ethos is developing a home-school relationship based on trust and respect, while fostering a welcoming school environment where every student has the space to flourish and shine, and every parent feels reassured. We bring empathy into our classrooms and embed it as a core value. Our commitment to a holistic education emphasizes on the relevance and interconnectedness of knowledge across all disciplines while maintaining high levels of literacy in Arabic and English language.

We are privileged to partner with parents, a network of schools within the Taaleem Group, the private sector, and the Dubai Government. Together, we will build a foundation of character and academic excellence in a climate of support, encouragement, and intellectual risk-taking.

Together we are stronger. 

Our dynamic and forward-thinking learning system is rooted in Emirati culture, guided by Arabic and Islamic values to foster a strong identity and tolerance while maintaining a global outlook.

When you visit DSK, you will feel the strong sense of community and care that defines our school. Our culture of kindness permeates the corridors. You will witness the passion and energy our staff bring to their work, driving our commitment to providing an outstanding and impactful values-based education where students are taught to meet every challenge head on and embrace every change with heart. We deliver high-quality innovative teaching strategies to equip students with essential problem-solving, critical thinking, and life skills, ensuring they graduate with a thorough understanding of the world they will inhabit and lead in their future.

I look forward to welcoming you to Dubai Schools Al Khawaneej.
