Welcome to Durham School Dubai, where our philosophy is 'confidence for life. We believe confidence is not only achieved through academic attainment but importantly, through the development of good manners, moral integrity, responsibility and kindness. These qualities are crucial in shaping our children into well-rounded, socially competent young men and women.
FOUNDATIONS FOR LIFE
Children entering Durham School Dubai in the Early Years start in Foundation Stage 1, in the September after their third birthday, and progress into Foundation Stage 2 class thereafter. The Early Years Foundation Stage is a two-year phase that quite literally, puts in place the foundations for life-long learning.
PLAY-BASED LEARNING
In the Early Years at Durham, we believe that children learn best through play-based learning, underpinned by the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. This curriculum is the framework for Early Years education in England. During a typical day, children experience a careful balance of both adult-led sessions and discovery time where children actively participate in carefully planned and well-resourced learning activities, to both consolidate their ideas and explore activities for themselves. This mix helps children gain independence, confidence, critical thinking skills and fosters positive social interactions.
A NURTURING ETHOS
All learning is carefully guided by highly trained and nurturing EYFS teachers and teaching assistants, providing both challenge and support where necessary. Small classes mean we get to know each individual child during this crucial phase of their learning. Through careful observation and planning, we ensure to provide individual challenges and targeted support for each child on their unique learning journey.
