“When students’ emotional, social, and mental health needs are met, they thrive academically.” - Wayne Howsen, Principal, The Aquila School
Teachers and support staff alike are deeply invested in student growth, ensuring each child feels known, valued, and championed. Parents, too, play a key role, with the school’s clear, proactive communication ensuring that families remain engaged and informed every step of the way. The Aquila School is committed to delivering a robust, inclusive, and future-focused post- 16 curriculum that meets the diverse needs, strengths, and aspirations of all learners. Currently, the school offers offer four distinct pathways: the globally recognised prestigious International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), the IB Career- related Programme (CP), BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma qualifications and an IB Certificates pathway. These pathways provide students with both academic rigour and vocational relevance, allowing them to pursue higher education, employment, or further training with confidence and competence. The strategic direction and educational philosophy of The Aquila School are closely aligned with the national priorities set out in the UAE’s E33 Vision, emphasising the development of a globally competitive knowledge economy, future-ready skillsets, and an inclusive society rooted in innovation, sustainability, and global citizenship.
