Facilities

Our school has been designed to create a warm community feel in the city of Dubai.

The building has four floors, with innovative outdoor spaces throughout and includes specialist science laboratories, information technology centres and two indoor swimming pools, one of which is dedicated to foundation stage learners.

All foundation stage spaces meet KHDA requirements. They are designed to be entirely separated from the rest of the school, with their own entrance and exit, drop off arrangements, and no access for the rest of the school, unless invited.

All FS classrooms and learning/play spaces are on the ground floor. Activity Rooms are included for play and exercise.

All Year 1 and 2 classrooms are also on the ground floor and all Year 3 and 4 classrooms will be no higher than the first floor.

large classroom spaces (minimum 56 sqm) that provide a good environment for learning
