We bring tried and tested experience in the development and management of schools and preschools, and have been consistently delivering a high quality education to thousands of students.

Our goal is to be one of the leading education providers in the region by building truly exceptional schools which inspire, empower and enlighten students, and enrich the communities that we are part of. Our schools & nurseries have many advantages.

We have robust academic and operational systems that enable us to deliver consistently high educational standards. We recruit from a large pool of applicants, only the most motivated and dynamic of educational leaders and teachers to join our institutions. We invest in the continuous professional development of staff, so that teachers are kept abreast of the latest developments in modern pedagogy. And we know how to create a culture of care where: students achieve their potential and enjoy their schooling experience; parents are positively engaged; and teachers are fulfilled by their work and deliver their best every day.

Vision to be one of the leading quality K-12 (Kindergarten to Grade 12) School and Nursery Education providers in the Middle East by building truly exceptional schools which inspire, empower and enlighten students, and enrich the communities that we are part of.

Fortes Education is in the process of expanding our portfolio of schools wherein the following additional curricula will be offered: International Baccalaureate (IB), American Placement (AP, American curriculum), and CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education, Indian curriculum). At present, we own and operate Regent International School, one of the leading K-12 British curriculum international schools in Dubai. Our nursery brand, the Jumeirah International Nurseries, follows the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework of the British National Curriculum.

Fortes’ education philosophy is designed to provide students an education that is not only enriching in academics, but also fulfilling and rewarding in their lives.

We at Fortes Education believe in offering an Education for Life, imparting knowledge and skills to our students and developing their character, personal leadership, work ethic, compassion and values so they can create their own success as thoughtful, confident, principled and dynamic individuals in the world.

Our schools are full of opportunities for personal development, achievement and enjoyment. We pride ourselves on our holistic approach to education based on academic excellence, excellent extracurricular activities and personalised care to each student’s development. We are committed to enabling our students to develop their strengths and realise their ambitions.

Empowered, independent learning is a hallmark of Fortes’ educational programmes. Our students think for themselves, ask questions and solve problems with a keenness to learn. They develop into bright, free-thinking individuals who apply their knowledge and skills to the real world through inquiry, interaction and practical activity.

We believe in maintaining links with our students and graduates, encouraging them to come back and share their successes and stories with our students, and fostering links amongst graduates. Furthermore, we encourage active and strong parent engagement in their children’s education as studies have shown that positive and productive links between home and school are vital to a student’s development. A Fortes school has an active parent organisation providing parents a platform that enables them to participate in their child's education as well as campus life. Parents volunteer and participate as Campus Volunteers; Sports, Field Trips & Recreation Volunteers; School Events (Festivals, Fairs and Cultural Activities) Volunteers; and Professional Consulting Volunteers.

Positive Education (PosEd) brings together the science of Positive Psychology with best teaching practices to enable individuals, schools and communities to flourish. PosEd drives a person to learn more effectively, and be more resilient, creative, productive, successful and healthy.

Research has proven that positive emotions, engagement, purpose, relationships, accomplishments and health are the core building materials for human wellbeing.

Fortes Education is part of the International Positive Education Network (IPEN) that is promoting a paradigm shift in global education by connecting schools, governments and policy makers to the best educational resources to raise the awareness of interconnected nature between a child’s "wellbeing" and "achievement".
