The teaching staff, recruited both locally and overseas, are well qualified, experienced and highly motivated.

The curriculum followed is largely based on that of an English National Curriculum school, while also taking into account the Islamic dimension of the school’s location and the diverse makeup of the student population. The English National Curriculum has been largely adopted, but suitable modifications have been made, where necessary, based upon the professional judgments of staff. Arabic is compulsory for all students. Outside visits and residential expeditions are integral parts of the curriculum in the Senior School. They include UAE based expeditions and Humanities trips to the other Emirates
