There is a passionate and supportive group of international educators and many continue to give long service to the school, such is the strength of the community.

Sharjah is the only Emirate to introduce the 4 day school week. Educational staff and students enjoy a 3-day weekend every week, which is proving highly beneficial to everyone’s wellbeing.

Dubai is a short drive away with many of the schools staff making the short commute each day.
