Welcome to English Language School (Pvt.) Dubai!

This year brings many exciting changes. The English National Curriculum is highly regarded around the world for its rigour and quality. At ELPS your child/children will develop a global outlook and a level of education that can support their future goals and dreams.

English Language Private School (formerly known as English Medium School Dubai), is one of the first schools established in Dubai. A National Curriculum of England school, ELPS opened its doors in April 1978 to meet the needs of the growing Dubai Population.

The English National Curriculum is segmented into "5 key stages". ELPS offers Foundation 2 to Year 13. The curriculum will prepare your child/children to study for GCSEs, IGCSEs and other internationally recognised examinations.

It is firmly believed that Education empowers students with knowledge, skills and understanding of the world around them. Developing students academic, personal and professional competencies in a UAE and multicultural context plays a pivotal role in preparing students to succeed in a challenging world.

With the hiring of new staff in key positions, ELPS is rising to greater heights. Getting back to basics has been fundamental. You will notice the change in entry and dispersal protocols, break times, timetabling, an upgraded, informational website, a logo change and a change in the overall management of the school.

Building partnerships with the ELPS Community is also pivotal. The forming of a Parent Council that will represent the needs and desires of the parents and students and the inclusion of parents on the Board of Trustees. These partnerships are integral to ELPS as the school strives towards excellence in a manner that reflects the spirit of a true partnership.

Rome wasn't built in a day but, arriving at this point in the ELPS story shows the evolution from a traditional to modern mind set that will pave the way for the future of ELPS students.
