Ash Mount School

Director's Message

Ash Mount School opens in August 2026 in the heart of Mudon; purposefully designed to serve and strengthen the community it calls home. We are creating a happy, ambitious and purposeful school that families can trust. Our vision is clear: Learn with Purpose. Live with Compassion. Lead with Courage.

People First
Great schools are built by great people. We are appointing exceptional leaders, teachers and support staff who are expert, kind and ambitious for every child. They are supported through a comprehensive programme of induction, coaching and ongoing professional learning. Across the Interstar Advisory Services family of schools, our educators collaborate through shared curriculum development, moderation and professional learning to ensure consistently high standards.

Learning and Teaching
Your child’s learning will be rich, rigorous and relevant. Our broad and balanced international programme draws on internationally recognised standards, including the English National Curriculum, to provide academic rigour and clear progression, while embracing an inquiry-led approach and meeting the requirements of the UAE Ministry of Education.  Children experience outstanding opportunities across languages, science, mathematics, design, digital learning, the arts and sport, while assessment is purposeful, timely and used to personalise both support and challenge.

A Campus for Learning and Community
Our purpose-built campus is much more than a school; it is a learning landscape designed to bring people together. Light-filled classrooms, dedicated primary and secondary libraries, specialist science laboratories, art, design and dance studios, a black box theatre, outstanding sports facilities, Wadi-inspired gardens for sustainability learning, prayer rooms, a wellbeing hub and a senior common room all create an environment where children, staff and families can flourish together.

Working with Families

Outstanding schools are built on strong partnerships. You can expect open communication, clear information and an open door. Through regular parent forums, workshops, community events and opportunities to share your voice, we will continue to shape Ash Mount School together.

This is my commitment to the families of Mudon and the neighbouring communities: exceptional learning and teaching, strong values, outstanding care and a safe, welcoming school with high expectations, aligned with KHDA priorities, Dubai’s Education 33 strategy and UAE Vision 2071.

We look forward to welcoming you to Ash Mount School.

Principal’s Full Message

At Ash Mount, we deliver a curriculum grounded in an international framework, enriched by the local and global context of the UAE, and aligned with national priorities, including UAE Vision 2071. This education balances rigour with joy, inquiry with structure, and academic success with wellbeing and student voice. Every child will be challenged, supported, and celebrated, developing as inquirers, leaders, and change-makers. I have had the privilege of opening and leading schools both across the region and internationally. Each of those experiences has deepened my belief in the power of partnership: between students, staff, families, and the wider community. At Ash Mount, we are creating a culture where people are valued, voices are heard, and ideas flourish. Our open-door philosophy reflects our commitment to being a school where relationships come first.

Ash Mount School is proudly part of the Interstar family of schools — a group recognised for excellence, innovation, and a strong commitment to the communities they serve. Ash Mount builds on that legacy while creating something distinctly its own: a school with heart, ambition, and a bold sense of purpose.

Thank you for considering Ash Mount School. We look forward to welcoming you and your family as we shape something extraordinary together.
