School of Modern Skills (SMS) was founded in 2006 on a deep sense of Emirati identity, national traditions and Islamic values all while incorporating international teaching and learning methodologies. With over 33 teacher nationalities and almost 2000 student enrollment numbers, SMS boasts an interactive, student-centered learning approach, providing our students for a lifetime love for learning.
SMS provides an enhanced US Curriculum based on the California Common Core State Standards (CACCSS) for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics for their KG-Grade 12 learners. For the Science curricula, the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are adhered to. Finally, the Ministry of Education program is used for subjects such as Arabic, Islamic Education and Social Studies.
SMS is proud of their separate male and female campuses from Grades 5-12, along with a range of specialty laboratories (technology, biology, physics, chemistry), sports facilities, soft-surface playgrounds, a hydroponics garden, STrEaM activity room, libraries, multipurpose halls, a health clinic and canteens. In addition, we embrace technology as an innovative way for students to learn and we have a variety of online platforms for all grade levels to ensure that students are fully equipped with the skills they need to thrive in the 21st century.
SMS students show excellence beyond academics as well, showcasing talent in extracurricular activities, leadership through student council activities, and service learning opportunities. In addition, our students show high levels of sensitivity and understanding in their local UAE community, through student council events celebrating their teachers, elderly, children, and campaigning for human rights, hunger and anti-bullying initiatives!
