Bravery Begins Within
A SCHOOL FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF GLOBAL STEWARDS
Our learners develop their inner character and practical skills to create a more compassionate, hopeful, and sustainable world.
What does it take to unleash bravery?
Today’s children will be tomorrow’s global stewards.
They will be called on to meet new challenges and possibilities with compassion, curiosity, and wholeness.
But traditional education models are no longer enough to help them prepare.
We believe it’s time for something new, and better.
How we do it
We learn from ourselves, community, culture & nature.
OUR TEACHERS
We draw on four unique ‘teachers’: our inner wisdom, our community, our culture, and the natural world that surrounds us. Our educators choreograph learning experiences among these ‘teachers’, enabling a richness of growth that’s never been achieved before.
We go slower so we can grow deeper.
OUR RHYTHM
We incorporate rhythms and routines that promote physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. We take time to reflect on our learning and our impact on the world. It’s how our students make sense of new experiences, grow in confidence, and make braver leaps forward.
We embrace real-world experiences, always learning by doing.
THE KEYS
We enable our learners’ passions and interests by crafting meaningful, curiosity-driven challenges that blend academic skill-building and character development. In doing so, we unlock unforgettable experiences and lifelong growth for all our learners.
We are born from the spirit and soul of Emirati culture.
OUR COMMUNITY
We grow and learn from our context. What would represent Dubai more than a community of rich diversity? While the Arabic language and Emirati culture are incorporated in the shared experiences of our learning community, we invite you to bring in what makes your culture and background unique so that we can celebrate together.
