Global Citizenship

School Value

We provide students with opportunities for learning about issues which have local, national, and global significance, to develop them as global citizens.

• Our curriculum and celebrations demonstrate our willingness to look not just at our own lives, but the lives of people in the UAE and worldwide.

The UN offers a definition of Global Citizenship as:

the belief that individuals are members of multiple, diverse, local and non-local networks rather than single actors affecting isolated societies. Promoting global citizenship in sustainable development will allow individuals to embrace their social responsibility to act for the benefit of all societies, not just their own.
