The school is unique in many ways and has been built to the highest specifications, informed by forward-thinking approaches to learning. Facilities include large, light and airy classrooms; purposefully-designed, shaded, outdoor learning spaces; extensive sports facilities, including an 8-lane 25-metre swimming pool with training pool, tennis courts, a fully-equipped functional gym space and multiple sports halls; a food technology room; a digital arts space and a large black-box theatre.

Nurturing high levels of wellbeing is central to our mission, and so creating a caring and supportive environment which allows both staff and students to thrive is essential.
Our Curriculum
Dubai British School Mira will follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework in the Foundation Stage, before moving into the National Curriculum for England from Year 1 through to GCSE, BTEC and A-Level pathways in the Secondary school. The curriculum is significantly influenced by the local context and culture within a global setting and is enhanced by the purposeful use of technology. Interdisciplinary learning will allow children to deepen their understanding of concepts across the curriculum, with STEAM playing an integral role in this.
Curriculum enrichment is crucial in providing routes for learners to grow. Experiences offered both within and outside of the school setting will allow children to find and follow their passions; the broad and balanced extra-curricular programme will also harness this zeal.
Through the carefully constructed curriculum, learners will become adept at understanding themselves, their learning journey and how to pursue their potential. Gaining a deeper understanding of who they are will allow them to thrive academically, socially and emotionally as they become global citizens and leaders of the future.
