With a campus designed for minimal environmental impact, utilizing solar power for all its energy needs, recycling all its water for agricultural use, and implementing waste separation, Fairgreen International School in Dubai empowers students to play a leading role in creating a sustainable future for our world.
At our home in The Sustainable City, we have a true community school in the heart of Dubai.
Fairgreen’s educational programme is driven by academic achievement and innovation and is delivered by an exceptional team of international educators. Its challenging programme seamlessly integrates an intensive sustainable education curriculum to create a truly unique school in Dubai. Fairgreen’s curriculum features 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.
Fairgreen MYP students and Science Teacher Adam Hall were recently presented with a Roots & Shoots Award by Dr. Jane Goodall of her namesake institute at the organization's annual UAE awards show dedicated to students' achievements in helping people, animals and the environment. Among 100 schools across the UAE that applied for this award, Fairgreen was one of the 12 winning schools, selected for our Million Solar Stars programme and our students' efforts to scale up solar at Fairgreen.
Fairgreen’s Science Teacher Mr. Adam Hall recently accepted an award as one of the “Top 50 Organizations in Education” at the Global Forum for Education & Learning in Dubai for his work in creating A Million Solar Stars (MSS), a solar education programme implemented in various schools across the globe that gives students the opportunity to develop solar energy solutions to power schools.
The head of our ‘Design, Engineer, Construct’ course, Mr. Samuel Landete, recently accepted the Middle East Consultant Editor’s Choice Award for the DEC programme on behalf of Alison, Watson, CEO of Class of Your Own, the UK-based non-profit that founded this incredible, unique curriculum that helps students develop a range of skills and knowledge fundamental to successful engagement in technical and professional aspects of the Construction and Built Environment sector of industry.
Fairgreen's Technology Specialist Mr. Matt Backus arranged for a series of valuable visits from a Senior Apple Professional Learning Specialist. Students and teachers have benefitted from this experience by learning how to optimize use of Apple/iPad products.
Congratulations to the first cohort of Fairgreen teachers and staff who voluntarily completed the ".b Foundations" Teacher Mindfulness course, an 8-week program developed by the Mindfulness in Schools Project (MiSP), a UK-based non-profit established in 2009 to help improve the mental health and wellbeing of children. Our Head of Counseling Mrs. Jackie Greenwood is the only MiSP-trained teacher in Dubai who is certified to teach this course.
