About The Aquila School
The Aquila School is a happy community school which opened in September 2018. We are proud to be the flagship school for International Schools Partnership (ISP), a global community of 84 international schools across 23 countries with a shared purpose of growing the world’s most curious, confident minds. At The Aquila School we welcome children aged 3 to 18 years old and prepare pupils for a complex, challenging, and competitive future. We have been graded outstanding by British Schools Overseas and in the local inspection framework we are rated as good with many features including inclusion, well being and the UAE national agenda being rated as very good.
The Aquila School offers the English National curriculum adapted to be relevant to meet the diverse community that we serve. In key stage four we offer a range of IGCSEs, GCSEs and BTECs and key stage five we offer IBDP, IBCP and a range of BTECs as well as an Asdan pathway.
Our staff work hard to ensure our children love school, love learning and make as much progress as possible.

Working in a dynamic environment, in a lovely new building is great. My colleagues are supportive and the pupils are genuinely fabulous. This is the first time I have driven to work everyday listening to happy pop music because I am so happy to come to work.
