Horizon school is a non-selective, private school in Dubai. It provides British curriculum education for international students aged between 3 and 11 years old from more than 47 countries. English is the language of communication throughout the school, and in lessons but many of our children have English as their second or third language. Being fluent in English is not a requirement of entry to our EYFS or Year 1 classes and we regularly take children throughout the school where English is an additional language and not fluent.
Horizon Communicator is the principle method of communication we use to share information with parents on general issues about the school or events involving children. There is a ‘live’ Horizon calendar plus links to our sports calendars, so that all stakeholders can check for events relating to the children.
The key areas are NEWS (short paragraphs of information), RESOURCES (where we upload letters, forms and trip information etc., for the school community to access) and ALERTS. Alerts are very short, important but not critical, messages when we need to alert you to something relevant. Alerts appear on your Communicator as a red pop-up, so that you don’t miss them. For example, when students are away on trips, we publish daily news snippets (blogs) on what they are doing. From time to time we also publish pictures from events at the School in the GALLERY section (e.g. trips).
At Horizon School, the Music specialists are committed to excellence, energised by quality learning and integrity in teaching. They are passionate about the innovations that follow and how they strengthen curricular merit for all our children. Mr Malanga (the Head of Music) believes that the foundation for teaching is an understanding of learning.
"The past half-century of brain research has provided us with robust new understandings of the nature of music learning. At Horizon School we have taken advantage of this new knowledge to drive innovations in our teaching, assessment & differentiation. The results of these changes have been pride worthy. Students greatly enjoy their learning and are gaining practical musicianship skills that were once assumed to be the province only of the especially talented".
A wide variety of sporting opportunities are available at Horizon and we believe that physical activity is for everyone, from Foundation Stage One to Year Six. In our department we have five specialist teachers for PE and swimming who work hard to deliver an inclusive and inviting curriculum that challenges and inspires the children in every lesson. The boys and girls in our wonderful school also have the chance to learn and compete in 10 different sports in local and international tournaments and competitions, including football, netball, swimming, rugby and cricket (for both boys and girls).

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
I would like to thank the entire team at Horizon English School for adjusting so well with the ‘new normal’. They have somehow made social distancing fun and interactive for the students. The teachers and support staff are putting in a lot of effort in to come up with creative ways of learning. We feel this shows the dynamic leadership of the school. Thank you HES.

I was part of the school five years ago, then my family moved to Canada. I must say, it was a very inviting place for kids with all the arts and crafts as well as school activities. Even though I have not gone to Dubai since 2015, I sill always remember it!

I am delighted to hear stories about the fun activities which my children share after a day at Horizon English School. I love seeing the videos showing the children doing their physical activities in a safe and protected environment. I feel that it is so important for their mental stimulation and Horizon English School is doing a great job at it.
