Everyone Counts Everyone Contributes Everyone Succeeds

Why Horizon International School?

Mr Darren Gale Principal

Horizon International School is a supportive, student-focused, international community school following a British style of education. We strive to challenge and inspire all learners to develop their skills and nurture values through a love of learning. We want our students to responsibly embrace the challenges of tomorrow.

Located in Umm al Sheif, our facilities enable us to give every child the opportunity to thrive. I am very proud of the balance we provide between academic rigour, creative and sporting pursuits in developing the whole child.

We place great emphasis on our values and community spirit, which support us in our mission `Everyone Counts, Everyone Contributes, Everyone Succeeds'.

It is our belief that we are all leaders, whether it is leading learning in the classroom, leading a team, leading children or leading adults. Our dynamic and highly qualified team supports us in bringing our vision to life.

We are keen to make a difference, and we very much look forward to welcoming you to see our community, Horizon International School, in action.

Parents' testimonials

"Thank you to all the teachers and amazing staff who have helped my son grow from a shy little kid to a confident young boy. The continuous support he has always received not only boosted his confidence, but also made him believe that nothing is impossible."

"[Our] kids are really happy. The thing [our children] really enjoy the most is the teachers. The teachers really make the difference. We feel very comfortable with the mix of people who are here, the size and the community, and that's a differentiator for us in Dubai."

"Finally found a school that does not consider education as a product, but rather focuses on creativity, curiosity towards learning, humanitarian values and insists on embracing the aspects of pluralism, tolerance, coexistence and diversity. Under the leadership of principal Darren Gale, the whole school community (including parents) emphasizes and facilitates the learning of these values. Horizon International School is a place where children and teens also excel beyond academics by delving into sport, art, and other extracurricular non-academic activities, including fostering hobbies and individual interests. I cannot recommend this amazing school enough!"

"This is a great community school where the teachers take all the students' development seriously. We had great experience from both the teachers and PE team. Thank you very much. Parents should work hand in hand with the school to ensure the kids are learning in a safe and harmon[ious] environment. Happy kids, happy parents."

"I can honestly say my children LOVE being part of Horizon, and happy kids mean happy parents. Excellent facilities, fantastic opportunities. Parent teacher communication is wonderful. My kids are actually sad that it's almost the end of term."
