Jumeirah College

Welcome to Jumeirah College - Outstanding school for the 9th consecutive year.

Jumeirah College Dubai is an outstanding British school in Dubai– not just in terms of academics, but also in terms of developing each and every one of our students socially, physically and emotionally.

We don’t believe in comparing our students to average benchmarks. Instead, we focus on understanding our students as learners and individuals, exploring and embracing every opportunity to encourage and support them in their learning and growth.

With students from over 59 nationalities, we are a truly international school with a truly global mindset. We instil these values in our students, moulding them into successful, well-rounded, and open-minded international citizens of the 21st century.

Delivering The National Curriculum for England from Years 7 to 13, we are registered with the DFE, Department for Education and Skills in London, and as an examination centre for the appropriate UK examination boards.

Vision
Our vision is to create a vibrant learning community that nurtures happy, confident and accomplished students who, through a commitment to academic and personal excellence, progress beyond limits.

Jumeirah College, in partnership with Dubai Cares and buildOn, built a new two classroom school in Nthunduwala Village in Malawi on January 11th, 2021. The school contains two gender specific latrines, new desks and chairs, and permanent chalkboards.

The project broke ground in August 25th, 2020 and the parents and grandparents of Nthunduwala contributed a combined 868 volunteer workdays to help build the school for their children and grandchildren. Today,1,025 children (501 boys and 524 girls) receive classes at the new school in Nthunduwala, and there are nine teachers who teach eight grades at the school.

buildOn has begun working with the community of Nthunduwala to identify 'out of school' children in the village and enroll them in primary school classes with anticipation that enrollment will exceed its current amount by the beginning of the 2021 school year. Additionally, buildOn will work with the community and partners at the local Ministry of Education to add additional grade levels and classrooms as they are needed. The entire community has not only reported increased morale of the students and parents of the community, but they have expressed their excitement for a vastly improved working environment for teachers. Most significantly, community members are overjoyed that students will no longer have to hold classes on the ground or in a structure that is unsuitable for learning.

All of our teaching staff are extremely well qualified with relevant UK experience and are selected for their abilities to create a motivational environment. Energetic and innovative, our team of teachers have a proven track record of motivating students to progress and work to their best levels.

Our on-going programme of professional development ensures that our teachers are up to date with the latest teaching methodologies. Many of our teachers are involved in projects and developmental work that is at the forefront of e-learning.

As part of our teaching philosophy, we expect teachers at the school to:

• Actively engage students in their own learning
• Systematically develop students learning skills so that they become increasingly independent
• Use assessment for learning techniques to help students to reflect on what they know and to set targets for the future
• Have high expectations of what students can achieve
• Use stimulating activities in well paced lessons
• Create a purposeful atmosphere that promotes good learning
