Renaissance School

At the Renaissance School, we are a school that builds on strengths. We promote a culture whereby students are encouraged to strive and learn the power of taking risks, making mistakes and learning from them.

We believe that the primary role of education is to equip people with the knowledge and confidence to contribute to a transformational society. In Dubai, we recognize that singular efforts are being made to build such a society. A key quality of the society is its rapid change. It is for this reason that we give our children the knowledge, agility and skills not only to be employable but to innovate, prosper and grow.

Our curriculum and structure allows for children to develop their interests and to learn at a pace that matches their developmental needs and the New York State Standards age appropriate outcomes.

We ask students to take on bigger challenges from time to time, for example in a school competition or play/performance – we will give children the opportunity to ‘have a go’ and will always be on hand when things don’t go right first time – this builds a key skill, namely resilience.

We help every child to learn how to run a business, backing them with the resources and guiding their decisions, so they will understand how to create wealth and jobs. We also ensure that every child develops the digital skills they need to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing, competitive global society.

Renaissance School is committed to engaging students to connect their knowledge and understanding to develop the whole learner. We value diversity and model acceptance of all cultures within the school, UAE, and international communities of the world.

Everyone engages, everyone reflects, everyone learns.

Our Educational Vision is for students to discover their potential by developing good character, by gaining international qualifications, by learning to learn, and by discovering how to be innovative, tolerant and happy in this fast-changing world.

We will value every child as an active contributor and will nurture each student so they are a beacon to others in an ever-changing, complex society.

Renaissance School believes in providing an excellent international education through its programs to meet the needs, interests, and abilities of all students and inspire them to become lifelong learners in a digital world. The school stresses academic achievement and digital skills, suitable for the future of work. It believes in fostering the intellectual, physical, personal, and social development of students in a supportive and caring multicultural learning environment.

Our vision for Renaissance is to provide students with an educational experience that inspires and motivates them to be lifelong learners and caring contributors to the world around them. Our goal is to provide a nurturing environment that meets the individual needs of each student, both academically and socially.

At Renaissance School, our faculty consists of top tier teachers who love children and have proven expertise in nurturing the intellectual capacity of every student. We hire confident teachers who are hungry for student achievement, humble in the role they play in children’s lives and smart.

Renaissance teachers are flexible and open minded, and understand the opportunities involved in working in a new school. They are committed individuals who believe in quality education and the provision of the highest levels of customer service, not just in education but international 5-star hospitality and high-end levels of service.

Families, teachers, support staff, community members, and administration all play a part in helping our students develop academically, socially, and emotionally. Together, we can make a positive difference. A strong partnership between home and school fosters greater success for our children. Parents are invited to become involved in our Parents Council Committee. Joining the Parents Council is a wonderful way to have your ideas heard, as well as support the vision of our school. We encourage parents to communicate with teachers and staff to foster a successful partnership.
