Over the past 12 months, Cognita Middle East (ME) have been busy developing an exciting new concept, Enrich ME, exclusively for the students of our Cognita family of schools in the Middle East.  Bringing market-leading enrichment provision to support the school’s curriculum, leading to an even higher quality learning experience for our students, this inclusive offering is designed to be fun and engaging for all our learners, whilst also developed to drive high-performing students to achieve professional results.  

Having launched earlier this month with the very best provision in swimming and football, the initial feedback from the parent community has been overwhelmingly positive.  With every aspect of provision underpinned by Cognita’s commitment to ‘gold-standard’ safeguarding, safer recruitment, student wellbeing and leadership, parents have quickly recognised the value-add that Enrich ME will bring in providing their children with a first-class holistic education from tier 1 leaders and coaches.

To give you a flavour of an Enrich ME programme being offered, we asked Sean O’Shea, Director of Football for Enrich ME and previous assistant coach at European football champion club, AIK Stockholm, to share a little more detail about the Enrich ME football program he has designed exclusively for Cognita. He told us, ‘The Enrich ME football programme has all the wrap-around services of training and match analysis, testing, screening, and strength and conditioning, compiled into an athlete management system, enabling us to build a profile of each player.’  Sean further added, ‘The goal of the programme is to be fully inclusive and offer an opportunity to all students, regardless of level, to take part.’ 

Over the coming weeks, our Dubai schools can look forward to new experiences and provision for high-aptitude and high-performing students across the breadth of the curriculum delivered through Enrich ME, as well as transformational travel experiences and school trips.

Looking further ahead, Cognita ME has plans to expand the services to include rich learning experiences in the Arts – including music, language learning with our partners in the UK, as well as further sports and events hosted here in Dubai and around the world.

Congratulations to all involved in the development of this project, we are very excited to see the continued commitment to offering our students a well-rounded, holistic education.
