Our Philosophy
The core of our philosophy has been derived from the basic pillars of the U.A.E. society and from the General Objectives of the National Educational Policy.
The uniqueness of Dubai National School is through having Islamic beliefs and practices as essential elements in its programs. The Muslim students are encouraged to practice the Islamic faith within the context of the modern American educational system. They are continuously instructed to have a spirit of religious tolerance. In brief we believe that:
- Moral Education is primarily the responsibility of parents, then the school, the community and the media.
- Education is a continuous process as stipulated by our Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
- Our international educational programs should be well organized to provide disciplined and challenging education which will prepare students for post high school opportunities.
- “Each child, as a unique individual, regardless of his/her ethnic background, should enjoy special protection, be given opportunities and facilities to develop physically, mentally, socially and spiritually in a healthy and appropriate manner in conditions of freedom and dignity” as stipulated in our Islamic religion.
- Children possess limitless abilities. Therefore, our programs should educate the whole child, encourage lively and creative minds, foster social skills, and prepare them for future roles as responsible and caring mature leaders.
- Academic emphasis should be matched and balanced with moral values, athletics and arts.
- Staff development is essential and should be provided continuously.
