The School

The Arcadia Preparatory School is a warm, vibrant and dynamic new British-curriculum primary school set in the heart of the Jumeirah Village Triangle community within Dubai. We opened our doors to pupils for the first time in August 2016 and have grown successfully, to become established as a leading edge primary school of choice.

From the moment a child enters our beautiful new school, he or she is surrounded with warmth and positivity. Our highly skilled teachers design and deliver learning programmes that motivate, excite and challenge children. Our motto, ‘nurture lifelong learning’ encapsulates our belief, that by delivering a rich and varied curriculum and by ensuring lessons are meaningful and targeted, each child in our care will develop a lasting desire to continually learn, grow and develop.

Delivery of the new National Primary Curriculum for England and the Early Years Foundation Stage framework is enhanced through our unique Enrichment Learning Programme that combines opportunities for physical, emotional and social growth and the development of new skills and aptitudes.

As a young and forward-looking new school, we have seized the opportunity that new technologies provide. Teachers and pupils utilise leading edge Apple technology on a daily basis to create, communicate and collaborate. Parents are empowered to share in their child’s learning experiences through our app-based mobile technology, and our ultra-modern primary school campus provides an enabling environment for all.

This is a truly exceptional school, seeking passionate and enthusiastic teachers.
