Ash Mount School

House System

At Ash Mount School, students are not just learners, they are leaders, changemakers, and collaborators. We believe that empowering students to share their ideas, make decisions, and take action helps them build confidence, empathy, and a sense of purpose. Our House System, Leadership Programme, Cultural Celebrations, and Service Learning are all designed to nurture student agency and foster a strong, connected community.

Every student, family and staff member belongs to one of our vibrant houses, creating a sense of belonging and pride. Through friendly competitions, challenges, social events, and service initiatives, students develop team spirit, resilience, and leadership skills while building lifelong connections.

Leadership starts early at Ash Mount. From Form Captains in the primary years to Wellbeing Ambassadors, Council Representatives, and Event Leaders in secondary, students gain opportunities to influence school life, take responsibility, and lead with confidence.

Student Leadership Opportunities

Celebrations & Cultural Events

Our community thrives on diversity, inclusivity, and creativity. We celebrate milestones large and small, from UAE National Day, international festivals, and student-led exhibitions to performances, achievement assemblies, and cultural showcases that strengthen school identity and global awareness.

We value student perspectives and give them a platform to be heard. Through the Student Council and regular forums, learners work alongside school leaders to co-create policies, shape experiences, and influence decisions, ensuring their voices drive positive change.

Student Voice & Advocacy

Service & Social Impact

Through Service as Action, students participate in local and global community projects, connecting classroom learning with real-world impact. From environmental initiatives to social responsibility campaigns, we nurture compassionate leaders who act with integrity, empathy, and purpose.

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.
