The school bases its teaching on the Cambridge International Programme tailored to meet the requirements of the host country and the needs of the students. The programme encourages the development of personal freedom and inner discipline in a well-ordered and structured system. General information as well as policies and procedures have been outlined in this handbook so that students and parents will understand the expectations for academic success as well as appropriate behaviour. We encourage you to review the information in this handbook with your child. We also encourage your comments and feedback and hope that you will join us for the many events and activities that showcase our students’ efforts and celebrate their accomplishments. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we welcome you at The English Modern School – Al Wakra Campus established in 2011. Thank you for partnering with us to provide an environment that encourages and nurtures a programme of academic and behavioural excellence.
