Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we begin finalizing student schedules and course placements for the 2026–2027 academic year, we have noticed that your child's re-enrollment has not yet been completed.

At this stage of the year, our counseling and scheduling teams are actively building student schedules for the next academic year in the secondary school. In order to ensure that your child is considered for their requested courses and that we are able to create the most appropriate schedule possible, we encourage you to complete the re-enrollment process as soon as possible.

While we will continue to support students, whose re-enrollment is submitted later, delays may impact course availability, elective choices, and scheduling options as classes begin to fill and staffing decisions are finalized. In some cases, spaces may need to be allocated to students on waiting lists, which could affect a returning student's placement in specific courses or programs.

Should you require any assistance with the re-enrollment process, please do not hesitate to contact the Admissions Team.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we look forward to supporting your child next year.

Kind regards,

Secondary School Administration

Dear Families,

What an amazing two nights our Middle School production team had for Alice and Wonderland Jr.. If you missed the show, you better come next year as it is the hottest ticket in town. I think I can officially say we have the best Middle School Theater team and actors in all of the UAE and I am not being biased. As an educator you get to see a lot of shows over your time in school and you know the good and you know the not so good. This was great!

We are heading to the finish line but we are not finished yet. Students still have their post assessments and our grade 8 students are going to start their promotion practice. We will have our end of year assemblies the last week of school 

• The week we return is a blue week. CDAB on Tuesday. 

• Holiday on Monday Islamic (Hijri) New Year.

• Final MAP make ups next week. 

Have a great weekend!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Please note that the Secondary School will be conducting a uniform check on Wednesday, June 17.

Students are expected to arrive at school in full compliance with the school uniform policy. We have noticed that, despite ongoing warnings and notices, we have an increase in the number of students wearing incorrect uniform items, including:

• Incorrect pants

• Shoes without a back (e.g., Crocs, Birkenstock slides, and similar footwear)

• Some students not wearing their uniform shirt underneath their sweater

• Booster grade-level sweatshirts being worn Monday through Thursday (these are Spirit Wear and may only be worn on Fridays)

• Student ID cards/lanyards. 

⇒ Students who are not in the correct uniform on Wednesday, June 17, will be required to contact home to arrange for the appropriate uniform items to be brought to school. Students will not be permitted to return to class until they are in the correct uniform.

If a family is unable to provide the correct uniform that day, the student will be assigned an internal suspension and will remain in the Multi-Purpose Room or Cafeteria for the duration of the school day.

We appreciate your support in helping ensure that all students meet our school uniform expectations. Please review the uniform policy below with your child prior to Wednesday:

- Middle School Handbook (Page 17)

- High School Handbook (Page 18)

Thank you for your cooperation and partnership.

The counseling team would like to share the following University Application Trends Report for the class of 2026.  Please note that is based on logged data in Unifrog as of June 5th.  Students are still entering application and destination data.  Counselors will provide an update in the coming weeks.
