Dear Parents and Students, In the spirit of excellence, Dubai Scholars stands in exalted celebration of a momentous achievement — we have been distinguished by KHDA as one of the Top 20 Schools in Dubai and have proudly claimed the prestigious TIMSS Award. This remarkable honour is a testament to our unwavering dedication to academic distinction, pioneering innovation, and transformative education — a legacy that has flourished for over 48 years. It reflects the relentless pursuit of excellence, resilience, and passion that define the DS Community. Being honoured with the prestigious TIMSS Award is a resounding affirmation of Dubai Scholars’ commitment to academic excellence. This recognition signifies that our students have demonstrated exceptional proficiency in mathematics and science, positioning DS among the highest-achieving schools both in Dubai and on an international scale. More than just a measure of performance, this accolade reflects our rigorous curriculum, innovative teaching methodologies, and the unwavering dedication of our educators — who continue to inspire and challenge students to think critically, apply their knowledge in real-world contexts, and cultivate a lifelong passion for discovery. As we revel in this remarkable milestone, we remain resolute in our mission to transcend the conventional, ignite the minds of future leaders, and cultivate an environment where intellectual curiosity, boundless creativity, and an insatiable thirst for knowledge thrive. A Transformative Term 2 of Growth and Achievement Term 2 unfolded as a dynamic tapestry of progress and innovation. Our first-ever TEDx ignited thought leadership, while the long-awaited revival of DS MUN after five years rekindled the spirit of global discourse. The entrepreneurial minds of our Secondary students flourished through hands-on initiatives such as BIZ-Ignite (Enterprise Day), while the Curiosity Carnival challenged our Primary students to think critically and present their learnings to the entire DS Community. This term was further enriched by vibrant learning experiences in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), where field trips and meaningful parent collaborations sparked curiosity and ignited a passion for discovery among our youngest learners. Beyond the classroom, the school came alive with enriching experiences — Sports Days, concerts, field trips, and the Scholars Fiesta fostered a spirit of celebration and camaraderie. World Book Day and the Math-a-Thon inspired a love for literature and numeracy, while DS Got Talent 3.0 and Open Mic provided a spectacular platform for artistic expression. The Annual Career Fair and Career Guidance Orientations for Years 8 and 11 equipped students with essential insights, paving their paths toward future aspirations. One of the most inspiring highlights was DS Champions Fest — a remarkable celebration of triumph, inclusion, and sportsmanship, where students of determination from over ten schools came together for a day filled with exhilarating sports, heartfelt camaraderie, and powerful displays of resilience. Dubai Scholars also launched its inaugural Champions League (Football) — a thrilling tournament led by Sixth Form students, who took charge of organising a competition that showcased teamwork, sportsmanship, and excellence beyond the classroom. During Ramadan, our Charity Campaign and Ramadan Chronicles instilled values of compassion and social responsibility, while the first edition of The DS Student Creative Corner spotlighted the brilliance and ingenuity of our learners. As we reflect on this incredible term of milestones, I extend my deepest gratitude to our students, faculty, and parents for your trust and commitment. Together, we are not merely shaping the future — we are redefining it. Here’s to many more milestones ahead! To end this on a high note, a warm wish to the entire community — Eid Mubarak!

Dear Parents, I hope this message finds you well. As we reflect on the past academic year, we’ve hadthe pleasure of witnessing some truly remarkable performances at the concerts, whether it be a musical, choral, or orchestral production, serve as more than just entertainment; they are invaluable learning experiences that contribute profoundly to your child’s development. In the last couple of weeks, we have witnessed some exceptional performances by our Foundation Stage and Year 1 students. Concerts play a vital role in this journey by providing students with a platform to showcase their talents, build confidence, and cultivate a sense of camaraderie among peers. As we look ahead to the upcoming school year, I encourage you to continue supporting your child’s involvement in our music and performing arts programs. Together, let us nurture their passion for music and provide them with the encouragement they need to thrive. I would also like to wish all our Year 11, 12 and 13 students all the best, as they write their Board Exams Frank Scarcelli Head of School Read More
