We proudly introduce this month’s School Spotlight; Horizon International School in Dubai. Our School Spotlight series showcases what makes our global community so special, shining a light on the individual strengths of our exceptional learning environments and understanding the benefits of being part of our wider community.

A supportive student-focused international community school, Horizon International School (HIS) offers premium quality British education that is accessible to girls and boys from the ages of 3 to 18 in the heart of Jumeirah, Dubai.

2024 marks Horizon International School’s 15th anniversary, and the school has much to celebrate.

HIS is delighted to have been awarded a ‘Very Good’ rating by the KHDA and an ‘Outstanding’ rating from British Schools Overseas inspection, reflecting their commitment to providing an exceptional and individualised learning experience for students.

In addition to the school’s new ratings, extensive campus renovations have enhanced learning environments, enriching experiences for pupils across all divisions. The school recently welcomed Dr. Abdulla Al Karam, the former Director General of KHDA for a tour of their new facilities, including their redeveloped central area, a dedicated Arabic learning area, Early Years Foundation Stage library, drama studio, and music room.

Commenting on what makes Horizon International School unique, Darren Gale, Principal at HIS shares: “Our school community is motivated by seven unique core beliefs that drive our culture and lay the foundations for our students’ success. Every day, our students feel supported, challenged, and inspired; not only in their pursuit of life-long learning but also in the exploration of their values. Teachers, parents and the wider administrative team make careful decisions based on the shared understanding that we are preparing every student for the dynamic challenges of the future.”

As the school continues to grow and innovate, their mission remains: ‘Everyone Counts, Everyone Contributes, Everyone Succeeds.’ To find out more about Horizon International School, click here.
