At Dubai Heights Academy, we offer a curriculum specifically designed to cater to the diverse needs of our students, based on the National Curriculum for England while complying with local standards. Our curriculum is further enhanced with Arabic language, Islamic Studies, Moral Education, and Social Studies. We have also partnered with MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) to develop and implement a specialized AI (artificial intelligence) project-based program for secondary students, as well as an early language initiative utilizing social robots for primary students, enriching our extensive curriculum.

Guided by our ethos of ‘Every Child, Every Mind, and Everybody matters,’ we firmly believe in providing every student with the highest quality education, regardless of their background or abilities.
