The EMS Definition of Internationalism

At English Modern School, we embrace internationalism through the acceptance of differences, values, and beliefs in our community.  This is emulated through our Cambridge Learner Attributes (CLAs). 

The EMS Definition of Learning

Learning is a life-long process of developing knowledge and building understanding. Learners engage with and reflect on new information and experiences to make meaning and connections to the world around them.

We look forward to seeing you at the gate and in school.

Our teachers are highly qualified and very experienced both internationally and in the Middle East region.  We are impressed by their knowledge, commitment to student learning, dedication to care and support for all students, and enthusiasm for creative engaging learning experiences. 

In the Primary School, one of our main objectives is to develop a genuine love of learning within each student.  We want each student to feel that ‘buzz' of excitement when they learn something new, whether in academics, sports or the arts. Successful adults love to learn and know how to push themselves forward into unknown areas. We want our students to develop this lifelong skill.

Secondly, we work very hard to ensure that every student develops the core curricular skills of Reading, Writing, Math and Science. These are foundational areas for future learning, and we support every child to reach their own potential.

Another objective is to ensure that our school functions as an effective, inclusive, internationally-minded community where everyone feels safe and secure and knows how to be successful.

​Working alongside parents is very important to everyone at EMS. We encourage you to join the school events, visit us often and talk and share with us about your child. Your feedback is always welcome and helps us to improve our school. If we don't know there is a problem, we cannot try to fix it. Please be reasonable with your requests, as we cannot change MoEHE guidelines or make changes that affect other students and families.

The year promises, once again, to be a great one at EMS!
