Teaching approach of the school |
EIS-Jumeirah is proud to be an IB World school. The programs have been devised to guide students in their search for a sense of belonging in the world around them. The curriculum aims to develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills they need to participate actively and responsibly in a changing and increasingly inter-related world. EIS teaches students to become independent learners who can recognize relationships between school subjects and the world outside, and learn to combine relevant knowledge, experience and critical thinking to solve authentic problems. |
