innovative curriculum

Fairgreen International School is an IB World School, authorized for the Primary Years Programme and Middle Years Programme, and we are in candidate status for the authorization of our Careers-related Programme and Diploma Programme, expecting full certification by June 2021.*  IB schools operate with a philosophy and commitment to delivering a high quality, challenging, international education.

Our programme is driven by academic achievement and innovation and is delivered by an exceptional team of international educators. We integrate an intensive sustainable education curriculum to create a truly unique school in Dubai, featuring hands-on project-based learning, research-supported teaching methods, technology initiatives and worldwide partnerships with leading experts and organizations in sustainability-related research and practice.

*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (IBDP), or the Career-related Programme (IBCP).

PUTTING WELLBEING AT THE FOREFRONT IN SCHOOLS

 

Parents are increasingly valuing schools that provide student wellbeing programmes. Why? Because one of the most obvious outcomes of life over this past year has been the reduction in overall wellbeing, especially among children. 

A staggering 96% of admissions officers at international schools report that parents now believe student wellbeing provision to be an important or very important factor in school choice for their child, according to a white paper published in February by ISC Research, a leading provider of international school data, trends and intelligence. 

In an effort to support the overall wellbeing of its students, parents and faculty, Fairgreen International School has developed a robust wellbeing programme, led by Head of Counselling Jackie Greenwood with support from the school’s Wellbeing Team. We asked Jackie to share how Fairgreen is at the forefront of providing wellbeing support for students:

FAIRGREEN RECOGNIZED AS A COMMON SENSE SCHOOL FOR DIGITAL LITERACY & RESPONSIBILITY


We are pleased to announce that Fairgreen International School has been recognized as a Common Sense school by the namesake nonprofit organization dedicated to helping kids and families thrive in a world of media and technology. Led by the efforts of Design Teacher Mr Samuel Landete, this notable recognition is a great achievement, as Fairgreen is one of only a handful of schools in the region to be named a Common Sense school.

Fairgreen has demonstrated its commitment to taking a whole-community approach to preparing its students to think critically and use technology responsibly to learn, create, and participate while preparing them for the perils that exist in the online realm, such as plagiarism, loss of privacy, and cyberbullying. With the right support, kids can take ownership of their digital lives, engage with real issues, and change their communities for the better. This recognition acknowledges our school's commitment to creating a culture of digital citizenship.

FAIRGREEN INTERNATIONAL JOINS FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT REVOLUTION

 

Fairgreen International School is First to Introduce Groundbreaking Functional Movement Initiative Used by Premier League Football & NBA Athletes

Fairgreen International School is the first school in Dubai to introduce a revolutionary, data-driven Functional Movement Physical Education Programme, a system of movement screening and remediation to promote optimal physical wellbeing for its students. Fairgreen is launching this in Dubai for September 2021 through a newly minted partnership with Functional Movement Systems UK (FMS UK), leaders in providing neurodevelopmental sequencing to perfect functional movement in elite athletes such as the Premier League Football and the NBA, military personnel, and students.

Connecting our Students to the Community at Large

Welcome to Fairgreen International School, where we are continually connecting our students with world-class leaders and champions of various industries.
