International School Education: The Difference It Can Make

Considered some of the best worldwide, international schools consistently receive high ranks from both professional educators and parents. Primarily running on the English language and located in most countries, such as Dubai, these institutions currently have and look after the education of more than 3.6 million students.

There are many benefits of enrolling your child in an international school in Dubai. In fact, in many aspects, such educational facilities fare much better than their local or even national counterparts. Here are just some of what you can expect with leading international schools:

Expansive global curriculum options

As the name already suggests, international schools offer a curriculum that goes beyond the standard of the country they are located in. For instance, they have the International Baccalaureate, which covers the Primary Years Program (PYP), Middle Years Program (MYP, IB Diploma Program (IBDP), and International Primary Curriculum (IPC). The National Curriculum of England and the American curriculum systems are the most common curricula followed in these educational institutions.

Instilling English learning at an early age

In today’s society wherein it’s becoming more and more apparent that English is indeed the official or universal language, having your child master the language can significantly help him/her in the future. And teaching English as a second language is something that international schools specialise in. In fact, these educational institutions use English as its language of learning. As such, enrolling your child in one, and as early as possible, will pave the way for easier understanding and mastery of the language.

Smaller student to teacher ratio means more engaged students

This is one of the biggest advantages that international schools have over the national and local ones. In most cases, they have a maximum class size not exceeding 20 students.

And with much more comprehensive and extensive curriculum, this makes complete sense, as it fosters much greater engagement in the students.
