Dear Parents, I hope this message finds you all in good health and high spirits. As we navigate the exciting journey of education, I would like to emphasize the immense value of active participation in school life. Please encourage your children and we shall do it from our end. Participation goes beyond attending classes and completing assignments; it’s about fully immersing yourself in the educational experience. Active participation in class discussions, extracurricular activities, and school events, inter-school competitions enhance your understanding of subjects and broadens your horizons. It’s a chance to ask questions, share ideas, and explore new perspectives. We have seen this build over the years, I encourage each and every one of you to seize the opportunities, participating in a debate, volunteering for a community project, or taking the stage in a school concert, or the ECA’s remember that your involvement enriches not only your life but also the lives of your peers and our school as a whole. Wishing you all the best for the week ahead. Frank Scarcelli Head of School Read More

Dear Parents, I have always maintained that it is our privilege to partner with you in providing the best possible educational experience for your children. The first two weeks of reopening have been amazing with your patience and support. The journey of learning and growth for our students, especially in today’s day and age cannot be complete without the integration of technology. I personally request our parents to take a close look at the value added in the spectrum of educational technology (ed-tech) portals and resources that are designed to enhance your child’s educational experience. We believe these tools will not only complement their classroom learning but also help them explore and plan for a promising future. By subscribing to and actively using these resources, your child will not only excel academically but also gain valuable skills and insights that will benefit them in their educational journey and beyond. We encourage you to explore these resources together with your child and engage in open discussions about their educational and career aspirations. We are excited to introduce the Mindler Career Guidance Portal, a valuable resource that will assist your child in exploring their interests, strengths, and potential career paths. This platform offers insights into various career options, educational pathways, and personalized guidance to make informed choices about their future. Should you have any questions or require assistance with accessing these portals, please do not hesitate to reach out to our dedicated support team. Frank Scarcelli Head of School Read More

Dear Parents, I hope this message finds you and your children in good health and high spirits. As we approach the end of the academic year, I wanted to take a moment to communicate with you regarding the upcoming exams. The examination period can be a challenging time for our students, both academically and emotionally. It is our duty as parents and educators to be attentive to our child’s emotional well-being and encourage them to express any concerns or anxieties they may have about the exams. Provide reassurance and guidance to alleviate their stress and instill confidence in their abilities. Let us celebrate effort and progress. Recognize your child’s efforts and progress throughout the preparation period. Positive reinforcement and encouragement go a long way in boosting their self-esteem and motivation. Our involvement and support are invaluable to your child’s success.

Dear Parents, As we progress through Term 3 and approach assessments and a wrap-up for the year, my message to all students is to keep developing a passion for learning not for scores or grades alone. Embrace the process and enjoy the discoveries you make along the way. Your education is not merely a means to an end; it is a lifelong adventure filled with wonder and fulfillment. Together, let us foster a culture of passionate learners who will shape the world with their knowledge and innovation. Keep asking questions, explore new possibilities, do research, and learn from their environment. Almost all events held at school, provide several opportunities to learn and make the most of it.

Dear Parents, We are happy to receive positive feedback from our Alumni students who are doing extremely well at universities and beyond. I take this opportunity to congratulate them for their hard work and dedication in whichever field they have chosen. We owe a huge congratulations to our dedicated faculty and staff who continue to challenge our students academically and provide guidance that leads to improvements in independent thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving. My message to parents as well is to continue and support their children in the career choices they make. Parents are the major influential factor in the career development of a child. The everchanging world with unprecedented times, and the dreams of each teen change accordingly. Children should choose their career paths and live their dreams. Wishing all our students the best of luck and we are happy to be instrumental in ensuring their dreams come true. Frank ScarcelliHead of School Read More

Dear Parents, I hope you enjoyed Eid Celebrations with your families. It was a pleasure to see how students walked into the school corridors and their classrooms in colorful outfits, greeting and wishing each other. Besides being integrated into the academic curriculum, festivals offer the opportunity for students to interact with the community around them. I would take this opportunity to thank our FS parents who came and enjoyed the concerts. Congratulations to our Performing Arts Department and FS Teachers for putting up great shows with our little angels. We at Dubai Scholars ensure that every term is focused on enabling students to maximise their learning and build further on everything they have achieved so far. Term 3 revolves around Standardised assessments and end-of-year examinations for many year groups. Our advice for all students is to start reviewing and revisiting concepts and their learning. It is crucial that they balance their day with some recreation, good sleep, physical exercise, and healthy nutrition. Frank Scarcelli Head of School Read More
