Dear Dubai Scholars Parents, When kids enjoy an activity, they want to do more of it. Practicing a skill — whether it’s playing basketball on the field or riding a cycle — improves their abilities and helps them feel accomplished. It is great to see all our students enjoying and participating in the annual sports days. I request all stakeholders continue to encourage them for playing sports and enjoy the games that they wish to play. I take this opportunity to thank all parents who visit the school campus and participate in events and activities with their children. Frank Scarcelli Head of School Read More

Dear Dubai Scholars Parents, Every week that passes by, we find it fulfilling to see all children come to school and enjoy their experiences. The weather this week has been comforting as well as challenging, but it does make us appreciate the joy that every season brings. Reading Books can add further joy and develop curiosity and a sense of imagination in our students. As a professional community, we try our best to stimulate an attitude of inquiry by posing challenges or novel ideas. All ideas are developed through skills. One of the skills that need attention and students need to develop are their Reading Skills. We request our parents to ensure students pick up books to read. Regular reading routines can offer lots of opportunities for learning. In the coming weeks, we will ensure that as an institution we focus on building the skill, interest, and love for Reading. It was indeed a great week with a lot of enthusiasm. Looking forward to the weeks to come! Frank Scarcelli Head of School Read More

Dear Dubai Scholars Parents, As the Head of the School, I am extremely delighted that we are a part of an amazing learning community such as Dubai Scholars. The second week into the new year and we’ve set the right tone across all the phases of the school. The fun and cheer of FS1 & FS2 students as they celebrated the sports days, were filled with high levels of enthusiasm. An excellent performance by students of Year 4 at the concert. If the audience reaction was anything to go by, the show was a huge success. A huge well done to the students, our Performing Arts team, and Teachers from the Primary. Boys from Year Groups 9 to 11 truly immersed themselves in the sports activities organised by the Senior Sports Council. It was indeed a pleasure to watch them play a variety of sports. On the 10th of January 2023, the halls of the Indian Consulate resounded with the voices of children who came together as a choir of 110 students strong, to celebrate and show their love for the Hindi Language. Students of Dubai Scholars had the honour to be a part of the choir. Teachers from the faculty and our Vice Principal graced the occasion with their speeches and orchestration. Looking forward to a lot more eventful and magical buzz that the school is ready to create! Frank Scarcelli Head of School Read More

Dear Dubai Scholars Parents, On behalf of the School Management and the Senior Leadership at Dubai Scholars, I would like to express my happiness as we see more and more students participating in different sports activities. In the sixth consecutive year of the Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC), Dubai Scholars have once again made an active effort to inspire, engage, and energise students to adopt a fitness regime at the start of every day. We are glad to share that as an Institution we are an integral part of the fitness movement initiated by Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, our students have joined by demonstrating the country’s ongoing ability to bounce back and create a stronger, happier, and more self- assured community that gives kids of all ages and abilities plenty of opportunities to learn about the advantages of health and wellbeing. I would like to congratulate members of our PE Department and Students Sports Council for their active participation. I also take this opportunity to thank all our parents, who take a lot of effort into encouraging their children to embrace Physical Education as a vital discipline of their educational journey.

We, at Dubai Scholars are always striving to improve student performance, and strongly believe that technology integration inside and outside the classroom can help students gain 21st-century technical skills necessary for future careers. Keeping in mind our curriculum goals and extensive research, we’ve consciously subscribed to the best Ed-Tech learning portals that provides student with easy-to- access information, accelerated learning, and fun opportunities through gamification to practice what they learn. It enables students to explore and deepen their understanding of difficult concepts, particularly in STEM. If you haven’t, I request all parents to kindly, ensure and pay the Ed-Tech fees, enabling and empowering all your children to enjoy the benefits of technology in education, which include increased collaboration, communication, and engaging lessons that help them to further spark imagination and ignite curiosity.

It gives us immense pleasure to share that the students and the staff of Dubai Scholars Private School and MANZIL, collaborated to create ‘Ripples of Joy’, an event with the purpose of #SpreadingSmiles. It was beautiful to see the bonding between the students of both schools – sharing their smiles and working together as a team, only to have fun. Initiatives like these help all of us to be grounded, develop our sensitivities and count our enormous amount of blessings. I applaud the Inclusion team and students who volunteered to make this event a success. Frank Scarcelli Head of School Read More
