Samuel Reeves, Year 5 student, The Aquila School
I love my school. It makes learning fun. Sometimes we go on trips to enhance our learning skills. We went to the Wondermaze and it helped us to learn how to do map reading and solve puzzles. Our teachers know us very well and they know what we are good at and what we need to get better at.

This year, my teacher, Rob McCarthy, has helped me get better at maths by giving me sums that make me really think. I know deep down that I can do it because it has been explained to us, so I get the answer after a little time. I like after-school activities. This term I am doing art, computing, choir and dodgeball.
Emily R., Senior student, The American School of Dubai (ASD)
My school has challenged me to set goals for myself and achieve them by creating a supportive community for students to thrive in. The flexibility of the Advanced Placement (AP) curriculum has allowed me to dive deeper into the subjects I enjoy while simultaneously developing new interests. While I have furthered my interest in history and politics through AP history and geography, I was also intrigued by AP economics.

Anna Annex, Grade 7, Global Indian International School (GIIS), Dubai
GIIS focuses on the overall development of a child. My school provides multiple opportunities for students to raise their voices and excel in what they do best. I’ve always grasped every opportunity that has come across my path. I attended an entrepreneurial boot camp at the school, which gave us guidelines and tips to create a successful start-up.
To train students to do their absolute best, we have inter-house competitions throughout the year.

We are encouraged to achieve all-round development at RIS, and teachers are a big help when it comes to helping us fulfil our goals.
At the start of the year, they help us develop personal and academic targets based on our capabilities. Furthermore, we also set moral targets that encourage us to always be kind and polite to everyone.

For example, we have a system of subject tokens for achieving a goal and the challenge is to gain a reward in each subject, which encourages us to work harder. This extends beyond the classroom, where our teachers encourage physical fitness through training and a nutritious diet.
