Ash Mount School

Middle School

Ages 11-16 (GRADE 6 TO 10 )

In the Middle Years, students deepen their knowledge, independence, and critical thinking. The curriculum spans a broad range of subjects, including:

Language & Literature

Additional Languages

Technology & Innovation

Sciences

Mathematics

Arts & Design

Physical & Health Education

Individuals & Societies (Humanities)

Students also work on interdisciplinary projects that connect multiple subject areas, helping them apply learning to real-world challenges. A personal project completed in the final year fosters self-directed learning, problem-solving, and creativity.

Progress is tracked using GL assessments, CAT4, and international benchmarks to ensure every student is supported and challenged appropriately.

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.
