Regent International School (RIS) is a well-established Primary school following the National Curriculum for England. RIS has been consistently delivering proven results in the classroom since inception and has developed a reputation of being one of the leading schools in Dubai. In the recent inspection by the Dubai School Inspection Bureau, RIS has been judged as ‘Very Good’ and has been known to deliver proven results in the classroom since inception. As a result of the great success and popularity of Regent international School, last year we launched our secondary school, commencing with Years 7 and 8. An innovative project based curriculum, with excellent student teacher ratios and personalised learning has seen our new secondary school attract significant attention and so we are excited to invite you to join us in further developing the new secondary school at Regent as we extend through to Year 11 and our first GCSE and BTEC graduates in 2024. We have created an inspiring curriculum where maths, the sciences and technology converge with the arts and humanities to create future leaders and thinkers. We have an outstanding team of secondary teachers who have designed a curriculum that has a strong STEAM focus where students explore, research, and solve real world problems. Students will think critically and creatively, work collaboratively, and lead empathetically. You will make a valued contribution to that new team as we extend the curriculum to Year 11. In keeping with Regent’s rich heritage and time-tested education, our new secondary school will empower children to develop the confidence and skills to think big, be bold, and dare to change the world.
