About Us

At Star International, we provide the highest quality of teaching using a rich variety of resources and technology underpinned by the National Curriculum for England. We actively encourage internationalism; while believing deeply in the values of the ambient community and country. We encourage our pupils to develop a greater appreciation and understanding of a wide variety of cultures and traditions yet still value highly the family school atmosphere in which they will feel known, secure and recognised as individuals. Our commitment is to provide a community of learners, young and old, where parents, teachers and children work as a team to enable all to develop their skills to the best of their abilities and reach their full potential. SIS Al Twar provides a community oriented school in the area that offers a vital service to the residents, an excellent centre of sustainable learning for children where they are encouraged to lead fulfilled lives by accepting challenges in all spheres in a safe and civilized environment. 

Our children are very well behaved and highly motivated pupils with a keen desire to learn and excel.  At Star International we follow the EYFS curriculum in Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum for England in KS1, 2, 3 and 4, adapting to suit the culture and requirements within the UAE and our diverse student body.
