The Aquila School is very proud to announce that it has been rated as Outstanding by British School Overseas (BSO) across all areas of assessment. To be graded as Outstanding this early on in a school’s operation is very rare, if not unheard of.
“Our team work tirelessly to ensure that every child makes as much progress as possible and is genuinely empowered to make decisions about their own learning. We are delighted that – within our first year of operation – we have been given the very highest rating possible from British School Overseas. Their recognition of the relevance of our engaging curriculum and commitment to progress, while ensuring that children are safe and happy, are a fitting testament to the excellent work of our committed and talented staff. Visitors to our school often comment on the happy community atmosphere, saying that the school is welcoming and has an established feel, and it is fantastic that the inspection team have also recognised this.” Wayne Howsen, Principal.
Our curriculum prepares our children for a complex, challenging and competitive future. We value linking learning in all subjects together so that the curriculum is engaging, relevant and interesting to the community we serve.
We value enquiry based, ‘real’ learning – where every child develops a design thinking mindset – a structured approach to learning collaboration, creativity and problem solving. Such activities challenge the children to take risk, think and become resilient, independent learners.
Having worked in the UAE for ten years and now entering my twenty-third year as a principal, I am still excited by the unique opportunity to employ brilliant and experienced teachers and create an amazing school.
We believe in providing Aquila children with ‘amazing learning’, helping children to learn to levels that amaze them and to inspire them to be successful now and equip them to be successful later. We want Aquila children to be respectful, kind, resilient and independentindividuals, well equipped for future work and life experiences.
Visitors to our school are struck by the sense of community and the buzz of amazing learning.
Come and be AMAZED!

Principal
The Aquila School in Dubai embraces the individuality of every learner. We support learning through a robust, child-focused curriculum, and enriching extra-curricular activities. The Aquila School focuses relentlessly on each child’s ability to amaze.
Learning is about getting better, academically, socially and emotionally. Amazing learning happens when pupils surprise themselves by getting better to a level beyond which they thought possible.
Whether through mentoring, enrichment or personalised study, The Aquila School recognises and nurtures each pupil’s abilities so that they amaze themselves and inspire others.
To do this, we are committed to:
The Aquila School believes that providing children with an eco-friendly environment will instil a sense of responsibility towards the world. We offer unique environmental initiatives not provided by any other school in Dubai, including:
Children will gain an understanding that much of what has been grown can be eaten and enjoyed. Such unique, hands-on learning experiences enhance and embed classroom learning. The learning environment at The Aquila School celebrates our best use of natural resources and how we might grow and develop a sustainable life to enrich our local communities.
Our children and their families tell us that they feel part of a caring and encouraging community. We not only support the personal development of every child; we also provide an excellent academic programme that offers our children a broad and rich curriculum with a wide range of opportunities and experiences. As a school, we value the importance of the home-school partnership and we encourage families to be part of their child’s educational journey.
Our families see our school as an extension of their home, it is a place where our children feel valued and listened to as well as part of a learning community that supports them in achieving their dreams and ambitions.
