Glenelg School of Abu Dhabi has 3 campuses, one in the main city of Abu Dhabi, one in Ruwais, an ADNOC industrial compound on the far western coast of Abu Dhabi and its third and newest campus is the one in Madinat Zayed. Our campus was opened to 650 students in grades PreK3 -grade 5. Next year (2012-2013) we open our middle school by graduating our 5th graders to 6th grade. One grade level will be added each year until we reach 12th grade. The campus consists of the elementary school, PreK3-grade 5 in the center of the campus and the middle/high school for the males on one side of us and the females on the other side. All schools have sports facilities, aquatic centers and an auditorium.
The curriculum is American-based, meaning we use the Common Core standards where they have been adopted and then use nationally recognized USA standards for other subjects until Common Core standards can be written in all subject levels. We teach the Ministry of Education standards for the Arabic/Islamic curriculum. Class size maximizes at 25 students per class with teaching assistants in all grade levels. Classes are gender segregated beginning at grade 3. Special Needs teachers and ESL teachers help support students with learning challenges. The school has a clearly defined and communicated discipline policy and teachers are supported in their discipline efforts by discipline supervisors, counselors and a Dean of Students.
All classrooms are equipped with Prometheum interactive boards. The school also has two computer labs, two science labs and a fully stocked library. Students in all grade levels participate in special area classes such as PE, Art, Music, and Computer, as well as a full slate of extra-curricular activities after school.
Teachers are highly qualified and all teachers of core academic subjects in English must be native speakers of the English language. The majority of the English speaking teachers are American but there is strong representation from the UK, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia as well. Arabic and Islamic classes are taught by highly qualified teachers from various Arab nations.
