Welcome to Cedar School where we truly put the education of the child front and centre of everything we do! My team of professionals are highly skilled in not just academics but have the skills and passion to make a difference in each and every child that walks through our doors.
Cedar School pupils will grow to be respectful, responsible, self-disciplined individuals with a high degree of compassion and integrity. They will understand and appreciate their place in the world by being confident in their values and heritage and have the skills to integrate successfully in an ever-increasing global environment.
Our rigorous, yet inclusive academic programme, will ensure that all are educated to the best of their ability and to an internationally recognised level. As your child grows and moves through our school you can rest assured that our British education system will provide the best in quality of knowledge and the opportunity to develop skills that will serve your child well throughout their lives.
The world is an ever-changing place and here at Cedar School we endeavour to provide all children an environment that is motivating, challenging and rewarding. A place where children feel welcomed, safe and excited about learning and wake up everyday looking forward to coming to school. Schools are much more than academics and therefore we believe that we are educators and not just teachers.
Cedar School is more than just a school – it is a family. We never underestimate the importance of family involvement in your child’s development and thus invite all our parents to be actively involved. Throughout each academic year it is my sincere hope that we all work together to enhance your child’s experiences and learning.
By setting goals and instilling the ambition to reach those goals, our students will be confident, happy individuals through the acquisition of knowledge, attitude and skills.
Our children will grow to be well-rounded, self-assured individuals; capable of navigating complex social and cultural environments in a confident manner.
As our children face challenges throughout their lives they will be able to draw on the guidance and experiences from Cedar School in order to persevere and make appropriate decisions in a variety of situations. As lifelong learners our students will develop into leaders and will be willing to take responsibility for both themselves and for others within their community.
Knowing that our children face challenges throughout their lives, Cedar School has a responsibility to prepare young people for these challenges. Our history of success also tells us that we need to embed a knowledge-based approach to learning to ensure that children can learn in depth.
At Cedar School, we prepare children for further education and employment by providing them with a rich and rigorous academic curriculum and opportunities to apply their knowledge in a variety of real life situations.
Our academic staff know every child’s strengths and tailors the curriculum appropriately. Our enrichment programme develops every child’s character and encourages risk-taking, critical thinking, decision making and working collaboratively.
Our community always feels welcomed and empowered to contribute to the school’s life.
Cedar School provides an enriched education through the National Curriculum for England (NCfE), empowering young minds to think creatively, problem-solve and to exceed expectations.
Modelled on the richness of the best international approach to education, our school unlocks potential, nurtures talent and realises dreams.
Our school has been designed to create a warm community feel in the city of Dubai.
The building has four floors, with innovative outdoor spaces throughout and includes specialist science laboratories, information technology centres and two indoor swimming pools, one of which is dedicated to foundation stage learners.
All foundation stage spaces meet KHDA requirements. They are designed to be entirely separated from the rest of the school, with their own entrance and exit, drop off arrangements, and no access for the rest of the school, unless invited.
All FS classrooms and learning/play spaces are on the ground floor. Activity Rooms are included for play and exercise.
All Year 1 and 2 classrooms are also on the ground floor and all Year 3 and 4 classrooms will be no higher than the first floor.
The school will adhere to the framework of the British curriculum. Teachers will be encouraged to enhance and extend the curriculum where possible in the normal course of their work, as well as through additional clubs, societies and extra-curricular activities.
Our children will be empowered to demonstrate:
The British curriculum provides an ‘entitlement curriculum’ up to the end of Key Stage 3, which means that students in each age cohort will study the same subjects, regardless of their background, nationality or level of academic attainment. Using their teaching plans, teachers will be helped to identify special needs and gifted provision ensuring the full ability range is addressed and supported.
In Key Stage 4, students will be provided with a good range of subject choices that meet their interests and capabilities.
Guidance will be available in Year 9 that gradually builds up through the year in order to help students arrive at good choices that offer the right balance for them, as individuals between focus and breadth.
To ensure that our learners are fully equipped to achieve this, we will:
The development of strong character traits is essential to build internal strength and courage, as children develop a sense of identity and place within the world. Our children will learn how to improve themselves, communicate with others and prioritise the importance of helping others. The values they embody will be fundamental to their success as global citizens.
