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

Dear Parents, As we have passed the half point of the term, and look forward to our spring break, I want to take a moment to express our gratitude for your ongoing support and partnership in your child’s education journey. We hope this message finds you well and ready to enjoy a well-deserved break during the half-term holiday. As we look ahead to the remainder of the term, we have many exciting activities and learning opportunities planned for our students. From engaging lessons and creative projects to enriching extracurricular activities, we are committed to providing a dynamic and supportive learning environment for all. DS Creative Collaborations: This Saturday, our senior school students were engaged in a collaborative inquiry project bringing real-world issues and applying their critical thinking skills to find innovative solutions. We are so thankful for all the parents who attended to support their child’s learning by engaging in discussions about the topics being explored and encouraging curiosity and creativity at home. Our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) students were treated to Mystery Reader sessions this past week. Parents were invited to surprise our little ones by visiting the classroom and reading a favorite story. Please stay tuned for future parent sessions. Primary Emirati Culture Day is a wonderful opportunity for our students to celebrate and learn more about the rich heritage and traditions of the United Arab Emirates. Students participated in various cultural activities, presentations, and performances. Students were encouraged to embrace the spirit of the day by dressing in traditional clothing if possible. On this occasion, our lower primary classes celebrated Haq Al Laila, which falls in the middle of Sha’aban. This coming Wednesday, Feb 28 we have our senior school concert, Upside Down, based on Netflix Stranger Things. We are very excited about this production. Our Year 5 and 6 concerts will be showcased on March 5 and 6 respectively. Finally, a reminder that our annual DS Fiesta will run once again on March 2. Please mark the date in your calendar. That is an event not to miss. I hope to see you all there. Frank Scarcelli Head of School Read More
