Capital School

Capital School emphasizes a supportive and positive environment that encourages academic excellence while nurturing individual goals. The school promotes a culture of hard work, dedication, and teamwork, aiming to develop students who are open-minded, globally aware, and proud of their individual and collective identities. It operates on the belief that every student should feel welcome, safe, and capable of achieving great things.

The school follows the National Curriculum for England, delivered by UK-trained teachers. The academic pathway spans from Early Years through to Secondary, with the school offering Sixth Form. The curriculum includes mandatory subjects such as Arabic, Islamic Education, Moral Education, and Social Studies, and prepares students for GCSE and A-Level examinations, with the possibility of the IB Diploma Programme.

The school is rated 'Good' by both the 2022 KHDA and 2021 BSO inspections. It aims to prepare students to be stewards of the world, fostering a determination to achieve their full potential. The curriculum is designed to transition students through to GCSE, A-Level, and potentially the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme.

Capital School maintains a strong Special Education Needs (SEN) team that provides dedicated learning support. The school also offers intervention programmes for English as an Additional Language (EAL) students and those identified as gifted and talented. The inclusion team is available to assist students who require further support during the admissions process and throughout their time at the school.

Capital School operates an inclusive admissions policy that does not base entry on academic performance. The process involves an initial tour and meeting with the admissions team, followed by an assessment—a simple chat for FS1 and FS2 students, and small tasks for older applicants. Required documentation includes passport copies, UAE residence visa and Emirates ID, previous school reports, and any relevant medical or educational psychologist reports.

The school operates on a three-term academic year. The 2025-26 Winter Term begins on August 25, 2025, and concludes on December 12, 2025, with a half-term break in October. The Spring Term runs from January 5, 2026, to March 20, 2026, followed by the Summer Term from April 6, 2026, to June 30, 2026.

The campus is equipped with modern learning environments, including interactive whiteboards in all classrooms and two dedicated ICT suites. Students have access to a variety of iPads and Chromebooks for daily use. The school also features specialized spaces for sports, art, and music.

The school offers a range of extra-curricular activities designed to complement the academic programme. These include dedicated programmes for sports, STEM, and art and music. Students are also encouraged to engage with local projects and initiatives, such as those related to the UAE's culture and global outlook.
