Dear Parents,I hope this message finds you well.Welcome to the first Newsletter of this Academic Year. School newsletters are a valuable way to keep our community informed and connected. They highlight student achievements, developing a sense of unity and engagement among students, parents, and staff. Through these regular updates, we celebrate our collective progress and growth. Going forward, we intend to release two Newsletters per term. Nearly nine weeks have passed since the start of the academic year, and it has been an enriching and remarkable journey thus far.Our Foundation Stage students actively engaged in the Yusaid Campaign, graciously presenting utility bags to our blue-collar workers – a commendable display of compassion. Furthermore, numerous enriching educational excursions have been meticulously planned, coupled with students excelling in interschool sports competitions and the introduction of dynamic new extracurricular activities centered around the performing arts and public speaking skills such as TEDx Training sessions. These opportunities holistically elevate their learning experiences beyond the confines of the classroom. We’ve also held our Primary, Secondary & Sixth Form Student Council Elections. In addition, our Primary students made a heartwarming visit to breast cancer patients, while our Secondary students organised the DS Venturist Business Competition & Post Secondary students visited a university and explored different careers of interest and attended sessions on career exploration. The above is just a summary, as you read through the newsletter, you will be happy to see the levels of engagement across all phases.Looking ahead, we are preparing a plethora of learning opportunities and initiatives for our dear students, to name a few: Our recent announcement of Zero Tech Day, a new initiative where students will go screen-free one day a week (FS TO YEAR 8) & for Year Groups 10 to 13 – A humanitarian trip to Sri Lanka in December 2024 and a UK trip to Universities in July 2025, few initiatives around Fitness 30×30 and much more. Our heartfelt thank you for your continued support in nurturing our students’ growth, and we look forward to more enriching experiences in the weeks ahead.

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

Dear Parents, I hope this message finds you and your families well. As we approach the upcoming March Break, I wanted to take a moment to share some important information and considerations, particularly regarding the celebration of Eid. Firstly, I want to express my gratitude for your ongoing support and cooperation as we navigate through this academic year together. Your partnership has been invaluable to us here at Dubai Scholars. March Break is an eagerly anticipated time for our students to rest, recharge, and spend quality time with their loved ones. As we approach this break, I encourage you to prioritize safety and well-being. With the ongoing concerns surrounding the pandemic, please adhere to any relevant guidelines and precautions issued by health authorities. Let’s continue to ensure the health and safety of our community remains our top priority. Additionally, I would like to extend warm wishes to those in our community who will be celebrating Eid during this period. Eid is a joyous occasion that holds significant cultural and religious importance for many of our families. It’s a time for reflection, gratitude, and celebration of community bonds. As a school, we embrace and respect the diversity within our community and acknowledge the importance of inclusivity and understanding. Considering this, I encourage all families to engage in discussions with their children about the significance of Eid and the importance of cultural awareness and acceptance. By fostering a sense of understanding and respect for different traditions and beliefs, we enrich the fabric of our school community and promote empathy and compassion among our students. During this March Break and Eid celebrations, I urge you to take time for self-care, cherish moments with your loved ones, and embrace the spirit of togetherness and unity that defines our community. Wishing you all a safe, rejuvenating, and joyous March Break and Eid celebration. Frank Scarcelli Head of School Read More

Dear Parents, Another busy week at Dubai Scholars.  We had two spectacular concerts featuring our very talented Year 5 and 6 students. Amazing work by the Performing Arts Department and the respective grade teachers who were instrumental in these performances. Amazing. Earlier this week you would have received a memo from my office regarding re-enrollment. For us to continue to plan all these wonderful events, we need to have all of our current families re-enroll for next year to secure their spot.  Please revisit that communiqué and familiarize yourself with the important dates and information. It was great to see most of our parent community last Saturday at our annual Fiesta.We had the biggest turnout to date. Each year I am impressed by the amazing talent ofour community, from our Parent groups, students, and faculty. It is events like these that make DS not only a special place to educate your children but also a great place to be. Thank you for your support. Across all phases, academics continue to be in full swing. From our Mock exams to all of our culminations, we continue to ensure that all of our students achieve the highest possible academic success. As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, we extend our warmest greetings and heartfelt blessings to you and your families. Ramadan is a time of reflection, devotion, and community, and we are honored to share this sacred time with you as part of our school family. During Ramadan, Muslims around the world observe fasting from dawn until sunset, engage in increased prayer and reflection, and seek to deepen their connection with Allah. It is a time of spiritual renewal, self-discipline, and acts of charity and kindness. As we embark on this blessed journey, we encourage you to take this opportunity to strengthen your bonds with your loved ones, cultivate compassion and empathy toward others, and strive for personal growth and self-improvement. May this Ramadan bring you peace, joy, and spiritual fulfillment. May your prayers be answered, your fasts be accepted, and your hearts be filled with gratitude and love. As a school community, let us come together to support and uplift one another during this special time. Let us show kindness and understanding towards those who are fasting, and let us embrace the values of compassion, generosity, and unity that are at the heart of Ramadan. On behalf of the entire school staff, we wish you and your families a blessed Ramadan. Frank Scarcelli Head of School Read More
