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"
