The Australian International School, Dubai is the first Australian curriculum school in Dubai, opening in August 2021. Using the innovative Australian curriculum framework and standing alongside the proud Emirati culture, our highly experienced teachers from Australia, Arabic specialists, and a leadership team passionate about delivering exceptional educational and wellbeing outcomes, nurture and support our students so they are able to reach for the stars. Our pedagogical practice focuses on teaching for engagement, teaching for understanding, and teaching for independence, whereby students are explicitly taught how to learn, not just what to learn. Our vision is to foster a culture of innovation and our goal, ultimately, is for students to emerge into society as motivated, emotionally intelligent, reflective, resilient, and investigative thinkers who are self-disciplined, successful and active participants within their chosen community.
