British Curriculum
Star International School delivers a bespoke international curriculum underpinned by the National Curriculum of England, that is sensitive and respectful of Arabic culture and local traditions.
Star encourages excellence and independence and provides children with the intellectual tools and strategies to think for themselves and allow students to discover their passions in a nurturing environment.
The curriculum is designed to provide a wealth of opportunities where children can take intelligent risks, ask questions to satisfy their intellectual curiosity, and explore ideas to deepen their understanding while promoting critical thinking skills and creativity.
Our curriculum is delivered by passionate and highly qualified UK trained teachers and experienced Arabic Language teachers.
We want our students to
Become curious
about the world around them
Think critically
about problems and issues which arise
Problem solve
and become independent learners

Steam
In 2022, we implemented our STEAM program for our students. This program allows our students to practise the skills found in Maths, Science, Technology, Arts and Engineering. They plan, prepare and evaluate investigations, which allow them to test particular theories. This could be from looking at floating and sinking, to developing a building that would withstand an earthquake.
All of these activities allow for higher order thinking skills to be used and developed. The students use the laboratory to support their investigative skills and collaborate with their peers to answer the set question. They are then able to share their findings with other students in their year group or around the school.
