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. Wishing you the best for being a lifelong learner. Frank ScarcelliHead of School Read More

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

Dear Parents, The Scholars fiesta is one such event when the entire community of Dubai Scholars gets together and celebrates a day filled with fun and happiness.

Dear Parents, Wearing the hat of the Head of School is a privilege especially when I browse through all our weekly initiatives, I feel extremely proud to share that children and teachers are looking to experience more from their years in education, seeking the skills that not only prepare them for exam or tests but for the real world. Students want the freedom to excel in the areas for which they have passion and interest, while parents and children alike are seeking an education that’s more in tune with each child’s unique needs and skills. This holistic approach at DS is being built on the idea that children can be taught in a more natural and engaging way, inspiring a love of learning that lasts their whole life long. While maintaining a solid base in core subjects – such as mathematics, language, and science – we continue to motivate students to learn naturally through curiosity and creativity. It also means adapting to fit each child’s unique abilities and interests. We see children often develop greater confidence in their abilities while gaining crucial skills needed for a successful career in almost any field. In the best examples of this method, children are no longer confined to the classroom, but out in the community, participating in various competitions, organising events, and learning the far-reaching value of creative expression. This way, students are exposed to a world of opportunity and knowledge that once would have been closed off. Like every week, I am happy to share this week’s newsletter which shows the best at every stage. Thanking you for your continued support. Frank Scarcelli Head of School Read More

Celebrating Student Achievements Unstoppable Hope: A Golden Start to 2023 Swimming Season This is how Julie Daniella Hope started her racing for 2023 and is glad to share a gist of her success! She is a student of Year 8 F at Dubai Scholars. First swimming meet of the year, Emirates Cup Competitive Meet 2023 Long Course (50m) was held at the Hamdan Sports Complex on 4th & 5th February confirmed to the standards of the swimming federation .The event was refereed by Internationally qualified referees, and was attended by 500+ swimmers. Julie was exposed to a completely different approach during this extremely competitive meet where she moved away from her comfort zone. The six races she took part in were to ensure she was stretched to the maximum by swimming her least preferred races. She left aside her usual victory- guaranteed freestyle and backstroke races and took up 100m Fly, 200m IM and 50m sprints on all 4 strokes to gain confidence and thereby built her inner strength. Yes, she still proved it’s possible with a Gold on 50m Free, Bronze on 100m Fly and being in the top 10 under 13 age categories. Hard work and commitment always pay off! Well done to our champion. Empowering Future Leaders: The Harvard Model Congress Harvard Model Congress is an eye-opening experience for students to model the roles of members in Congress and discuss, negotiate and resolve real world issues ranging from Wars and conflict to climate change. Congratulations to our students Abhinav Shankar, Yehansa Bamini, Christa Thomas, Tanisha Goyal, Sithumdi Jayawardhana Best delegates: Sithumdi Jayawardhana and Tanisha Goyal Sithumdi Jayawardhana Tanisha Goyal Read More

Dear Dubai Scholars Parents, As we conclude the week on a very high note of accomplishments and great learning, I take this opportunity to thank all stakeholders of Dubai Scholars for their involvement, commitment and enthusiasm.
