An introduction to South View School

March 15th 2023

Rita Pierson’s quote is a superb starting point for defining the essence of South View School, an international, British curriculum school located in the heart of Dubailand.

Every child deserves a champion – an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.

We are devoted to developing remarkable, problem-solving leaders from FS1 through to Year 11, whilst enabling passionate teachers the flexibility, trust and support to build an environment of curiosity, investigation and exploration.

Finding each child's voice - From small beginnings, South View School has built, and continues to build its identity as a school that embraces the extraordinary, promoting the idea of “what if,” “you can” and “why not” in all children. Young people of all ages are listened to and encouraged to have a voice, whether that is through student councils or through one-to-one exchanges with peers and teachers.
The right mindset - The focus of the school centres on inquisitiveness, innovation, leadership and discovery, as well as appreciating and prioritising the power and strength of kindness to form positive relationships and a growth mindset. Students are encouraged to take part in navigating challenges, to allow reflection, further innovation and improvement to blossom as a mindset. This creates children who aren’t afraid of failure or taking a “wrong” step, but view making mistakes as a helpful and enabling step towards success and confidence.
Open and curious - Discovering talents, exploring new concepts and developing new perspectives are embraced and celebrated by our learning community. In short, we are a progressive, reflective, motivated and kind school with a broad range of students who are tomorrow’s leaders in training!
