Arcadia School Dubai offers a curriculum grounded in the English National Curriculum, focusing on core subjects like Mathematics, English, and Science, while also integrating seven key areas: academic attainment, sport, performing arts, digital innovation, adventurous activities, entrepreneurship, and STREAM (Science, Technology, Robotics, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). The school provides a broad and balanced education, encouraging students to explore various interests and talents, with a strong emphasis on character development aligned with the school’s core values of Altruism, Respect, Compassion, Aspiration, Determination, Integrity, and Adventure.

The curriculum is designed to offer students a comprehensive educational experience that blends traditional academics with practical and creative learning opportunities. Arcadia’s Prep School model includes extended school days where extracurricular activities and homework are supervised on campus, alleviating the need for take-home assignments in the Primary school. From Year 3 onwards, the school encourages broad participation in diverse activities, gradually allowing students to specialize from Year 9, including options like MUN, Debating, Oracy, Poetry, and International Competitions.
