📌 Overview

Star International School Mirdif is a bespoke English Curriculum school in the heart of Mirdif. We are very much a family school, with teachers, SLT, TAs, Admin and site staff all working alongside parents and the wider community to offer our children the best opportunities we possibly can. Star International School revolves around eight core VALUES which are demonstrated to everybody on a daily basis regardless of colour, race, gender, nationality, age or position in school. Our world is rapidly changing! It is changing in many different areas, sometimes to enhance the quality of our lives through technology, transport and medical discoveries, but at other times to reflect upon our behaviours and change them in order to protect and preserve our planet. Climate change, sustainability and the use of non-recyclable / renewable materials are all challenges which future generations in the C21st will have to find solutions to. Each child is unique. Star International Mirdif recognises that all children learn in many different ways and at different rates. Star promotes an inclusive attitude from everyone, which enables all children to have access to the curriculum in order to support, challenge and ensure ALL children reach their full potential. Star International Mirdif also recognises the need for staff to reach their learning potential. Star fully supports and empowers adults, within the context of school, to move their learning forward in order to achieve their own aspirations and goals. Our students are encouraged to lead their academic careers by the school’s STAR values. The values invite our children to consider their actions and challenge them to develop relationships, confidence, leadership, responsibility & learning. These feed into our house system, where the children are rewarded with house points for exemplifying the values of the school. Learning takes place everywhere: in the classroom, moving through the corridors, in the canteen, on educational trips, in assemblies… indeed the places are endless! Learning might be academic or understanding the social mechanisms that we have to learn in order to become well-rounded citizens. Within Star International, we are proud to deliver a creative and skills-based approach to teaching, enriched in awe and wonder that incorporates the objectives associated with the British Curriculum. Our Curriculum is taught in such a way that we link children’s learning to six themes across the entire year. This thematic approach helps to provide real-life context to children’s learning; we call this our Concept-Curriculum. These themes not only help provide an excellent context to learning, but they also celebrate our international cultures both from a British perspective and an Emirati one too.... more
