About
We pride ourselves on our track record of preparing children for seamless transitions to Dubai's top-tier secondary schools, an achievement attributable to our holistic approach to education. At RPS, well-being is not just an add-on, but a vital component of our ethos, and we infuse every aspect of school life with an emphasis on nurturing happy, healthy learners.
Our philosophy places culture before curriculum, fostering a cooperative community environment that serves as the foundation for academic success. We believe that when children feel secure, valued, and part of a community, they are primed to excel in their learning. Additionally, our small class sizes ensure personalized attention for each student, further promoting their growth and development.
