St Mary's School Fujairah

St. Mary’s Catholic High School aims to prepare innovative global leaders by providing holistic, inclusive, and sustainable education. It emphasizes value-based learning, respect for UAE culture and values, and the development of critical thinking, social responsibility, and entrepreneurial skills.

The school offers two distinct academic pathways: the UK curriculum (GCSE, IGCSE, and IAL) and the Indian CBSE curriculum. The CBSE programme covers subjects including English, Mathematics, Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology), Social Science, IT, Arabic, and UAE Social Studies, alongside options for Hindi, Malayalam, and French. The UK pathway prepares students for London Board examinations, with specific requirements for Advanced Subsidiary and A-Level enrollment.

The school is committed to inclusive education and caters to the needs of students with differing abilities. It employs effective planning and competency-based teaching to support both meritorious students and those requiring additional assistance.

Admissions generally begin in January for KG1, with subsequent grades opening in March depending on seat availability. Entry for Grades 1 through 9 requires a competitive entrance test in English and Mathematics. Enrollment for Grade 11 and A-Level programmes is merit-based, requiring specific grades in O-Level or Grade 10 examinations.

The school operates on a schedule that includes a holiday break beginning on the 15th of June, with classes resuming on the 16th of June. Daily timings vary by grade level, typically running from early morning until the early afternoon, with a shorter schedule on Fridays.

The campus infrastructure includes dedicated classrooms, a laboratory, a library, and a play area. These facilities are designed to support the school's academic and developmental objectives.

The school emphasizes holistic development through a variety of co-curricular activities (CCA). These programmes are integrated into the curriculum across various grade levels to support personal growth and skill-based learning.
