ICE Dubai prioritizes student well-being and social-emotional development as a core aim, with the curriculum emphasizing collaboration, respect for others, and understanding diverse perspectives, i.e., learning to work with others and engage ethically in a bilingual environment. The school explicitly targets these social and personal outcomes in its stated objectives and methods, including fostering collaboration and appreciation of different viewpoints. It also highlights wellbeing as a central element of the student experience, and there is year‑round student support across the school levels, including wellbeing-focused activities such as yoga for some year groups.
ICE Dubai has a SENDCO and publishes a SEND policy that defines inclusion and the identification of needs, together with stepped supports such as a Personalised Plan for Success (PPRE), a PAP, and a PPS, all coordinated through a team approach to ensure inclusive education. The policy explains how needs are identified, how plans are developed and reviewed, and how collaboration with families and external services is arranged. It also specifies that the SENDCO leads the inclusion process and that there is ongoing monitoring of pupil progress.
The school provides bilingual instruction in French and English across its curriculum, with the aim of native-like fluency in both languages; in the early years, each language is taught by a native-speaking teacher, supporting authentic bilingual exposure. Arabic language study is also offered in certain year groups, reinforcing multilingual provision within the same program.
ICE Dubai operates a Health Policy that includes a full-time school nurse and a part-time school doctor on site, with annual medical examinations for new students and an on-site health clinic, plus clear emergency protocols and parent contact procedures. The policy outlines how illnesses, medications, accidents, and contagious conditions are managed to protect student wellbeing.
ICE Dubai has a New Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy (V03 2021) that affirms a strong culture of child protection across the school and sets out designated child protection officers, including the Principal, School Nurse, and School Doctor, who are responsible for safeguarding procedures. The policy also details how disclosures are handled and provides emergency contact numbers for safeguarding and child protection services.
