About U.I.S School!
As soon as you walk through the door of United International School you feel its warmth and creative energy.
Founded in 2010, United School was one of the first schools to believe in the importance of educating children to fulfil their potential, giving them the skills and confidence to take their place with pride in a modernising and fast-moving world. That tradition remains at our core.
The academic heart of United School is enhanced and lightened by the warm relationships between staff and students, the sheer joy they have in learning, and the encouragement everyone is given to dig deeper; to explore ideas, to challenge preconceptions and to develop their own ideas. Learning here is not just about passing exams. It is about a love of academic pursuits, inspiration and imagination. It is about the quest for ‘very great wisdom and understanding, and knowledge as vast as the sands of the seashore’.
From its very beginning, and in advance of its time, United School embraced a liberal ideology. We believe that true potential can only be unlocked when given the freedom to grow. Our rules are few and relationships are relaxed, yet respectful. Our curriculum is broad with plenty of opportunity for individual research, discussion and debate. Music and drama are open to all and are performed to a very high standard. The art studio is an oasis of creative energy. Sport is played with verve and distinction, and opportunities of all sorts are magnified many times over in the clubs and societies on offer. There is never a dull moment at United School!
Success here is not a collective measure. What matters to us is the happiness and achievements of each student according to his/her own lights and ambitions. Our students take ownership of their lives, to embrace opportunity and to grow in resilience and self-reliance.
United School is a caring and generous community. Laughter is never far from the surface and friendships abound. The students are encouraged to develop a strong spirit of philanthropy, and to engage with those around them who are less privileged than themselves.
