Our Relationships curriculum is carefully planned to reflect UAE law, Islamic values, and KHDA expectations. All content is reviewed to ensure it is age-appropriate, respectful of our diverse community, and fully compliant with local guidance.
We do not teach any content that falls outside of legal and cultural boundaries, and we work in close partnership with parents to maintain open and transparent communication about what children are learning.

We see Relationships Education as a shared responsibility between home and school, and we are proud to help our pupils grow into kind, respectful, and confident young people.
