Description
The Arcadia Prepartory School Over View :
Arcadia School started life as a primary school opening in August 2016. Located in the Jumeirah Village Triangle area of Dubai, the school offers an enriched National Curriculum for England. From September 2020 the school launched a secondary section, located just across the square from the original primary section.
Originally established as the Arcadia Preparatory School, the later change of name reflects the expansion of the school into a Secondary section, now open across the square from the current primary school. At the time of writing (February 2022) the school is open to Year 9, with plans to open year on year right through to Year 13.
Arcadia School has been a one of a kind project in many ways. There is no large corporate organisation behind it, but rather the school was a means to 'give back' for Indian businessman Mohan Valrani. Mr. Valrani's son, Navin, is CEO of the venture.
curriculum :
Arcadia School follows the English National Curriculum with a focus on the core subjects of Mathematics, English and Science, but seeks to instil an Entrepreneurial spirit in every child that is reflected in the enrichment learning that is offered in a Junior MBA course. French is offered as an extra-curricular activity (ECA) and is offered as part of the Enrichment Learning programme. Three free extra curriculum activities are included from Year 1 upwards within school fees, which also cover four sets of uniforms, and all textbooks.
Academic Achievement :
Arcadia School benchmarks students' progress against the GL assessment system which is the preferred KHDA tool for measurement of achievement. The GL assessment expectation for Years 2 to 6, is that 60% of students should meet or exceed the expected level of attainment in their standardised tests in English, Mathematics and Science.
Data provided by Arcadia School shows that students at all levels from Year 1 to Year 6 are working considerably above the GL expectations.
Facilities :
Classrooms are located around the exterior three sides of the plot. All are light and bright, facing into the central courtyard areas which are set out with appropriate play equipment.
At first glance, the school does seem to lack outdoor space, but this has been addressed by clever use of the top floor of the building, where a heated and chilled outdoor swimming pool, a full 5-aside football pitch and an outdoor running track have been integrated.
The current Arcadia School is actually much larger than it initially appears and certainly does not lack in staff, resources or facilities for primary age children. It also has a very dedicated team of staff who seem to really cherish the boutique style and ethos of the school. The play areas on the ground floor are carefully arranged to be shaded and to create corridors where a fresh breeze can travel.
