OUR MISSION

Arbor School’s mission is to provide an education that connects our community with the natural world and inspires us to imagine and build a future in which all may flourish.

Our belief in ‘Enough for All, Forever’ lies at the heart of an Arbor education. It reflects our understanding that human wellbeing, communities and the natural world are interconnected, and that education has an important role in shaping how young people understand and respond to those relationships.

Our Vision

Here, academic excellence and Ecoliteracy go hand in hand.

Our vision is for students to develop strong subject knowledge alongside the capabilities to think critically, understand interconnected systems, consider different perspectives and make informed choices.

Through inquiry, direct experience and purposeful action, students learn to examine relationships between people, communities and the natural world and apply their knowledge to the questions and challenges they encounter.

Our Values

As a British international school in Dubai, our values reflect both our educational heritage and our place within the UAE.

We actively promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance.

We respect the Islamic values and cultural traditions of the UAE, including compassion, generosity, responsibility, respect for others, community and stewardship.

These principles are reflected in how students learn, work with others and participate in school life, alongside Arbor’s ecological commitment to fairness, responsibility and care for people and the natural world.

Together, our mission, vision and values provide the foundation for an Arbor education and our commitment to a future in which all may flourish, with Enough for All, Forever.
