For KG1 we chose an American curriculum called Frog Street, Which helps the teacher make learning an enjoyable experience.

It has 9 themes and covers a variety of topics that are both important and interesting to the young minds. Through these topis, childeren explore the domains of math, language and literacy, science, social, physics and creative development. The curriculum provides all the tools required, be it Big Books/Stories/vocaulary cards/CDs and Manipulatives, etc…

In KG1 we realize that children are at the age of exploration, and we make it a point to offer them continuous oppotunities.

Programs

House competition

Dubai College operates a rich full House programme.

The House competition is one of the enduring traditions of Dubai College. Every student that has passed through the school will have been a member of one of our four houses, which are all named after famous pioneers and explorers:

Sir Francis Chichester: Famous Sailor and Aviator, the first person to sail around the world single handed.

Thor Heyerdahl: He sailed 8,000 miles across the Pacific on a boat made out of reeds – proving that ancient civilisations could have travelled much further than previously thought.

Jacques Cousteau: War hero, undersea explorer and researcher – he invented the Aqualung, and became a pioneer of marine conservation.

Barbarossa: A pirate known as “Redbeard” who dominated the Mediterranean and eventually became the head of the Ottoman Navy in the 1500’s.

Being a member of one’s House, is one of the things that gives the school its sense of community spirit. In many ways it helps to embody so many of the best elements of Dubai College life.

Sports day

Our inter-house Sports Day takes place every year during the cooler weather of our Spring term.

Extra Carricullar activities

Dubai College offers an extensive range of extra-curricular activities, and we currently offer over 200 distinct lunchtime and after school activities each week. Although participation in these activities is not compulsory, it is highly recommended and well over 95% of our students do choose to take on at least one extra-curricular activity each week. These activities are fundamental to our aim of offering a broad, balanced and enriching educational experience. In some cases, what takes place outside of scheduled lesson times plays an essential role in helping students to develop what they have learned in class.

Through engaging with the extra-curricular opportunities, students are likely to develop their skills specific to that activity as well as a range of universal skills which are increasingly relevant:

• A sense of community

• Teamwork

• Ownership

• Leadership

• Problem solving

• Self-management

• Responsibility

• Commitment

• Oracy

These skills play a vital role in generating the positive, nurturing environment that is so important for students to succeed academically as well as in their life beyond Dubai College.
