National Agenda

Dubai National School is fully committed to working towards achieving the National Agenda target set by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. 

DNS has been working toward ensuring 100% high-quality, effective leadership and teachers within the learning community. Reading across the curriculum has been set as a priority. All students and teachers are equipped with Smart systems and devices as a basis for all teaching methods, projects, and research.  We aim to achieve 100% of Emirati students successfully completing their high school education and becoming college-ready without needing any additional university foundation program. As part of the National Agenda Parameter, our students take NWEA MAP, CAT4, TIMSS, PISA, PIRLS and have shown significant progress over the years. We have established a system within the learning community to collectively analyze data from various sources, including international benchmark assessment, to reflect and ensure continuous improvement of curriculum, teaching, and learning. Every child matters; each learner is provided with a personalized learning path based on their learning progression to achieve their learning goal
