innovative curriculum
Fairgreen International School is a Candidate School* pursuing authorization as an IB World School for the Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme, Career Related Programme and Diploma Programme. In August 2020, as Fairgreen began its third year in existence, the IB Organization gave their official authorization of our MYP. With a robust and exciting IB curriculum firmly in place throughout the school, Director Graeme Scott anticipates obtaining PYP authorization by October 2020 with our Diploma and Career-Related Programmes to follow. 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, or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit http://www.ibo.org"

In keeping with their culture of care, Fairgreen’s Wellbeing Programme encapsulates the many ongoing efforts the school has initiated since its inception to prioritize student wellbeing. 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 the support from Inclusion Lead Alison Scott, as well as the school’s Wellbeing Team.
Fairgreen’s ‘DREAMS’ Wellbeing Programme has been the root of the school’s culture of care since its inception only two years ago, offering support to students as they return to campus post-eLearning.

There is probably no other place on Earth where school choice is so abundant than here in Dubai. We talk to Fairgreen International School about how IB education prepares your child for the real world.
When considering what school is right for your child, one of the most important considerations is curriculum: how and what your child will be learning. One of the buzzwords, or rather buzz acronyms, in education today is “IB.” What is an IB education?

Fairgreen International School received official authorization of our MYP International Baccalaureate curriculum in July 2020. With a robust and exciting IB curriculum firmly in place as we head into our third school year, we are on track to obtaining PYP authorization by October 2020.
“The International Baccalaureate offers students the opportunity to develop a broad range of life skills and personal attributes that go beyond intellectual development to prepare students for a successful future,” shares Mr Graeme Scott, Fairgreen Director.
In line with the UAE Vision 2021 to create and maintain a sustainable environment and infrastructure as well as achieve a perfect balance between economic and social development, Fairgreen launched the third edition of the Million Solar Stars Challenge under the patronage of the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE).
Taking place on February 27, 2020, the event brought students together to design, build, and race model solar cars and boats as part of an international initiative aiming to engage one million students in the process of scaling up solar power at 100% of schools around the world.
"I came away hugely impressed by how the school is a fantastic example of what can be achieved by schools in the battle to save the planet, if only we set our minds to it.” We are so proud to see Fairgreen featured in the Times Educational Supplement (TES), a leading UK-based publication showcasing leading-edge education for over 100 years!
“A unique part of our curriculum is how it’s interconnected and how learning does not happen in isolation."
“A unique part of our curriculum is how it’s interconnected and how learning does not happen in isolation. We know, and the International Baccalaureate knows, that in the future, nothing will be solved through one subject. It’s extremely important that students begin that understanding right away.”
