Primarily aligned to the CBSE curriculum, the school’s curriculum framework and course modules rightly combine the learning intents and standards emerging from the international benchmarks and the UAE National Agenda parameters.
Our principal focus is on the holistic development of the students through steady learning progression from grade to grade and integration of various curricular areas. The 21st century learning skills form the basis and the outcome of all the school programs and initiatives. Reading is fostered strongly as a culture and a skill through diverse contexts and platforms.
