Come along and discover the spirit of our school

Everyone counts, Everyone contributes,
Everyone succeeds

A supportive, student-focused, international community school following a British style of education for children from FS1 to Year 13. We place great emphasis on our values and community spirit, which support us in our mission ‘Everyone Counts, Everyone Contributes, Everyone Succeeds’. We are located in the heart of Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, with our facilities enabling us to give every child the opportunity to thrive. We are very proud of the balance we provide between academic rigour, creative and sporting pursuits.

Whilst student achievement at GCSE and A-Level is a highlight of our journey, our key academic strength is the progress that all students make against their measured potential; put simply, students consistently make better than expected progress in Horizon International Secondary School. As a boutique school we focus on the individual; personalising the learning of our students, giving individualised attention and providing bespoke pathways where necessary. We may be small, but we are also mighty.
