The International School of Creative Science (ISCS) was founded with a deep-seeded passion to create a unique K-13 institution that imparts academic excellence by providing modern curriculum learning, highly attentive tutoring, and superior facilities – all within an unparalleled environment that fosters traditional values and develops well-rounded youth.
Since the launch of its flagship school ISCS Muwaileh, Sharjah in 2002 and ISCS Nad Al Sheba, Dubai in 2016, the school’s brand has become synonymous with academic brilliance imparted in a faith based environment and the values which underpin the school’s curriculum. Supported by its state of the art equipped facilities, ISCS has become an institution amongst one of the most sought after international curriculum schools in Sharjah, Dubai and the other surrounding Emirates. Additionally, the UAE’s Moral Education Programme launched by the UAE government in 2017 fully integrates into the school model, rather than being a standalone subject.
ISCS offers the National Curriculum of England & Wales combined with the UAE National Curriculum, providing a strong emphasis on Arabic & Islamic Studies. This unique combination ensures academic excellence at all levels as has repeatedly been observed by the outstanding results for IGCSE/GCSE O Levels and GCE A Levels where ISCS secondary students have been ranked among top global achievers in education by Edexcel several years in a row.
In recent years, graduates from the school have been admitted to some of the world’s leading institutions of higher education both in the UAE, as well as the UK, US, Australia, Canada and Saudi Arabia. ISCS has laid acclaim to the prestigious honor of being designated as “Highly Effective with Distinction” in the Ministry of Education’s Inspection. This coveted distinction can be achieved only if a school receives “Highly Effective” ranking in at least three Focus Areas in addition to The Leadership of the School. ISCS surpassed this requirement and received “Highly Effective” not just in three, but in all six focus areas.
ISCS has also been internationally recognized with a leading industry award for its advanced use of technology in the classroom. This year is the fourth consecutive year that the school has continued impacting teaching and learning by using advances interactive technologies enabling effective collaborative learning. As an effect Creative Science Schools are the sole Promethean Centre of Excellence in the Middle East
