International School
Location : Sheik Zayed
Road
The Wellington
International School will be a truly
ground-breaking learning environment
that will provide exceptionally high
standards of education to the
students. The school, spanning an
area of eight acres, will offer a
spectrum of facilities and resources
that will combine a world class
education with distinctive,
state-of-the-art infrastructure.
Wellington International School will
be based on a refreshing design and
an exciting environment that will
envelop the student in a microcosm
of learning. An environment that
will become a focal point for the
community.
As
students enter the school they will
be presented with
technologically-based learning
resources that will stimulate their
senses. As they enter the concourse
they will see the Creation Garden
featuring exotic plant life and
flora, creating an ambiance rarely
seen in schools. Students can then
expand their horizons by visiting
the theatre, which seats 650 people,
or visit the observatory for a
breathtaking glimpse of the stars.
The
entire concept of the classroom is
changing. Classrooms at Wellington
International School will feature
complete digital connectivity with
wireless internet connections,
digital whiteboards and multimedia
projectors. Networked plasma
screens and computer terminals will
adorn school corridors informing
students of when their next classes
will begin. It is this step forward
taken by the GEMS group which will
assert Wellington School as a school
of the future.GEMS

Jumeirah Primary School
Jumeirah Primary School
creates a warm and caring
atmosphere for your child,
because we believe a happy child
learns well.
Jumeirah
Primary School provides a very
high quality British style
education. JPS, as it's
affectionately known, is an IAPS
(Independent Association of
Preparatory Schools) school, a
highly successful international
school for children aged 3 – 11.
JPS offers primary education to
children before they seamlessly
transfer into Year 7 at Jumeirah
College just 250 metres away.
Although predominantly British,
there are many nationalities
represented at JPS, reflecting
the cosmopolitan nature of our
host city. The international
nature of the school is one of
our many strengths. We live and
work in harmony together,
respecting our cultural
differences and learning from
each other. The annual
International Day is an
opportunity for children to
become better world citizens and
experience the diversity of
nationalities who attend JPS.
Children are allowed to dress in
their national clothes and
parents set up exhibits so that
the school can experience the
food and culture from around the
world.
We understand that our children
may be Global Nomads or, on the
other hand, may be experiencing
their first taste of life away
from home. In a rapidly changing
world, JPS provides a balanced
commitment between values, which
have stood the test of time, and
a modern, innovative education.
Citizenship and opportunities to
develop and use ICT form the
foundations of success at JPS.
Children and learning are at the
heart of our school. The
standards of behaviour are high,
as are the academic standards.
JPS has a dedicated team of
teachers, teaching assistants,
administrative and ancillary
staff who together make this a
very good school indeed. The JPS
Parents' Association charitable
fund raising efforts and social
activities make an invaluable
contribution to the school.
In addition to the National
Curriculum for
England,
children at JPS benefit from
Arabic language tuition from
Foundation Stage 2 and French
from Year 3. Children are class
based and make excellent
progress supported by a range of
very high quality specialist
teaching including music and
PE. This offers the highest
standards of education for our
children. The wide variety of
extra-curricular opportunities
enhances our broad and
well-balanced curriculum.
