PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

This year marks a significant milestone and shall be highlighted as "The year of celebration" for achieving the -“VERY GOOD” ADEK rating and officially becoming an IB world school. I am immensely proud of each contribution and what our school has achieved.

In 2021, we learned what it is to be locked down, locked out, bubbled, sanitized, isolated, socially-distanced, masked, traced, and tested yet we found ways to unite and work together. With technology and creativity, we were able to maintain and perhaps enhance our sense of community.

Our priority always remains the student. Emphasis on character and skill development has always represented a cornerstone of our pedagogical approaches to promote originality, confidence, entrepreneurship and creativity. Our students now are more knowledgeable, skillful, resilient and agile. They are more efficient and aware of the skills essential for embracing and unleashing their passion, innovations and therefore achieving their dreams. Together we have demonstrated that our collective efforts when directed towards the students’ wellbeing are a vigorous force that can deal with adversity!

Looking ahead next year we are excited to implement Teaching for Innovation practices throughout all of our activities. We are enthusiastic about the future ADEK visit which will undoubtedly recognize and celebrate more of our achievements and progress in alignment with the managing director and board of trustee’s vision, hence positioning the school for consideration for OUTSTANDING. We will take your hands all the way down the aisle so all your future memories of the almond blossoms will bring reminiscence of outstanding educational preparation. Our next goal for this year shall be teaching for innovation as seeking knowledge that will support new and unique ideas in instructional techniques that will reach the students in more effective and exciting ways.

I am profoundly grateful to those who have, directly or indirectly enriched the lives of our students this past year; teaching and support staff, the board of directors and Trustees, PTA members, sports coaches, other community volunteers, parents and caregivers. I equally extend my sincere thanks and best wishes and to those returning next year I look forward to seeing you back refreshed and ready to tackle another year of opportunities and innovation.

Finally, I can find nothing more appropriate and sagacious than reiterating the wise words the late Sheikh Zayed signifying the role of education and development of the UAE : “A country greatest investment lies in the building of generations of educated and knowledgeable youth”
