Ash Mount School

Ash Mount School opens in August 2026 in Mudon; built to be at the centre of the community. We are creating a happy, purposeful school that families can trust. Our vision is clear: learn with purpose, live with compassion, lead with courage.

People First

Great schools are made by great people. We are appointing leaders, teachers, and staff who are expert, kind, and ambitious for every child; we support them with induction, coaching, and ongoing training. Across our Interstar Advisory Services family, schools share curriculum, moderation, and coaching so high standards are consistent.

Learning and Teaching

Your child’s learning will be rich, rigorous, and relevant. We combine strong standards of the curriculum based on a broad international programme underpinned with our experience of the English National Curriculum across inquiry, languages, sciences, design, digital literacy, arts, and sport; assessment is clear and timely; support and stretch are personalised.

A Campus for Learning and Community

Our purpose built campus is a learning landscape; built to be at the centre of the community. Light filled classrooms; libraries for primary and secondary; science labs; art, design, and dance studios; a black box theatre; world class sports facilities; Wadi inspired planters for sustainable learning; prayer rooms; a wellbeing hub for quiet support; a senior common room preparing older students for life beyond school. It is a place where students, staff, and families flourish.

Working with Families

Schools thrive when they listen. You can expect open communication, clear information, and an open door; regular forums, parent talks, and community events will shape our journey together.

This is my commitment to Mudon and neighbouring communities: excellent learning and teaching; strong values; a safe, welcoming school with high standards aligned to KHDA, Dubai’s Education 33 strategy, and UAE Vision 2071.

Ash Mount School is an Interstar Advisory Services school led by Dinesh Kothari and Amit Kothari. For over 25 years their schools in the UAE and India have educated more than 16,000 students. Our Group does not have a “cookie cutter” approach to school management. All of our schools are unique and meet requirement of the community they serve. This has resulted in extremely high inspection outcomes that include Victory Heights Primary School, KHDA Outstanding; Delhi Private School Dubai, KHDA Very Good; Delhi Private School Sharjah, SPEA Very Good; South View School Dubai, KHDA Good.

We appoint exceptional leaders and teachers. Staff retention and satisfaction has always been a key value driver at Interstar. Safer recruitment and robust safeguarding aligned to KHDA guidance and UAE child protection law are standard; we bring the same disciplined model to Ash Mount with a clear ambition to achieve Outstanding and sustain it.

At Ash Mount School, our learning pathways combine a globally recognised international curriculum framework with the strengths of the English National Curriculum, aligned to the UAE Ministry of Education’s expectations. Across all stages, we place a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary learning, connecting ideas, skills, and knowledge across subject areas. Whether through scientific inquiry linked to global issues, literature explored alongside history, or design projects inspired by environmental science, our pathways ensure learning is relevant, purposeful, and future-focused.

“LEARN WITH PURPOSE, LIVE WITH COMPASSION, LEAD WITH COURAGE; THIS IS MORE THAN A VISION AT ASH MOUNT; IT IS OUR COMMITMENT TO EVERY LEARNER.”

We are pleased to welcome you to our international school at the centre of the Mudon community; a school where every child is known and learning is purposeful, exciting and ambitious.

Our international programme is designed so that students think deeply; create and perform; move and compete; and speak with confidence.
