Springdales School is one of India’s most distinguished private schools. Established in 1955 by veteran British educationist Mrs. Rajni Kumar, the school quickly grew from a small nursery to a full-fledged educational institution and made a distinct mark with its vibrancy and fresh approach.
Over the last 63 years, the school has earned the reputation for being a progressive institution that helps students build character through its values-based education. More than 63 years on, Springdales continues to lead from the front. It opened its first overseas school in Dubai in 2013 on a magnificent purpose-designed campus offering education from Pre-K to G12.
The Springdales School, Dubai campus, based in Al Quoz 4, next to Jumeira University, has three classroom complexes, for KG, Primary and Secondary (Middle and High) Schools. It also has flood-lit Track and Field facilities for Athletics, an Olympic indoor pool, bus parking and sheltered outdoor play areas. It also boasts dedicated science laboratories, campus-wide wifi, library/resource centre and indoor courts of racquet sports and basketball, a martial arts dojo and dance studios to include but a few of the world-class facilities that are available to the students and wider community.
Our role at Springdales is about drawing out and nurturing potential - but not for the service of self, (the 'me first culture') but for the service of our community. This means embracing rather than detracting from 'family values'. It is about valuing our ethnic roots and community cultures. Yes, it is also about national pride, but it is also about seeing ourselves as being global citizens with a shared responsibility for tackling problems of injustice, inequality and deprivation, wherever it exists.
Springdales seeks to expand its provision for Determined Learners, whether they are those who require additional learning support, counselling for emotional difficulties and support for students who are gifted and talented. We see each child as unique and an opportunity to draw out and develop latent potential, whether in academia, sports, performing arts or leadership.
A school where the motto is not a cliché about the pursuit of excellence, but about creating "the world is a family". Excellence lies in how we approach the journey, not in the destination
