Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

The Al Dhafra family guides the organisation through a board of trustees and a leadership team. Across campuses, Al Dhafra offers UK and/or US curricula and emphasizes a trusting, supportive school community that places students at the centre of learning and aims to develop personal responsibility, self-discipline, and independent thinking. The schools are aimed at producing internationally-minded global citizens prepared for a changing world.
