Ash Mount School

Training & Professional Development

At Ash Mount School, we believe that the quality of education a child receives is shaped by the people who inspire, guide, and support them every single day. That is why we place a strong focus on investing in the growth, wellbeing, and professional development of our team. Our educators are not only highly skilled professionals; they are reflective, innovative, and deeply committed to nurturing every learner to learn with purpose, live with compassion and lead with courage. From their very first day, every team member begins a purposeful professional  learning journey designed to build excellence in teaching, leadership, and  student support. Our development framework aligns with global best practices, UAE Vision 2071, and the KHDA inspection framework, ensuring that our approach remains future-focused and responsive to student needs.
Through workshops, collaborative planning, leadership coaching, and continuous training pathways, we empower educators to explore new strategies, enhance cultural competence, and deliver meaningful, inquiry-driven learning experiences.
We also believe that teacher wellbeing drives student success. That’s why we foster a supportive, collaborative culture, offering opportunities for personal     growth alongside professional advancement.

At Ash Mount, we don’t just teach, we learn together. We are building a community where educators are inspired, supported, and equipped to shape the future of learning.

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.
