Dubai has a new UK National Curriculum school, giving residents more options to choose for their children's education. The school will be located opposite City Walk, in the heart of the city and aims to provide an experience-based, inclusive curriculum bespoke to each child’s strengths and approach to learning.
The Citizens School site is double the size of other schools in the same catchment area, and has a capacity for 2,600 children between ages 3-18; a 2,900-square-meter open playing and recreation area.
It has a six lane semi-covered swimming pool and learning pool, football and rugby pitches adhering to Fifa and World Rugby standards; as well as a dedicated dining area for primary school students. The school also has ample parking space and a 1,250-square-meter multi-purpose performing arts and activity hall.
The Citizens’ 43,000-square-meter school campus, program and approach have been curated to re-shape learning, enabling students to thrive as citizens of the future, by focusing on wellbeing, imagination, and enabling outstanding outcomes for all young people.
In a ceremony on Wednesday, Dr Abdulla Al Karam, Director General of the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) inaugurated the Citizens School Dubai, and he said, “Citizens School is joining a school community that is committed to future-focused, wellbeing-based education that enables students to thrive at school and in life.
