The student body is multi-cultural with members from more than 40 countries represented. The majority however are British passport holders and all lessons are taught in English. The college follows the National Curriculum for England at all four Key Stages.

Students are prepared for the Key Stage SATs, GCSE examinations, AS and A2 levels and ultimately for universities of their choice. Whilst maintaining a sharp academic focus at the college we also endeavour to develop well-rounded students who are prepared for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life. 

Academic Success
Jumeirah College has earned a deserved reputation for high academic standards. At all levels, students at Jumeirah College have earned high marks in external assessment tests and exams. 97% of our Primary students who took the Key Stage 1 Assessment Tests reached level 2B or above which exceeded the U.K. national average by 29%.

Our Year 9 students also performed well in the U.K Key Stage 3 National Tests (formerly known as SATs), 98% achieved level 5 in English and Maths and 100% in Science juxtaposed against the U.K national average, which was 66%. Just as impressive was the percentage of our students achieving level 6 or higher, here the U.K national percentages are well below 50% while our students exceeded 70% in English and 80% in Maths and Science. These results easily place Jumeirah College in the top 5% schools around the world following the National Curriculum for England.

This is done through a variety of ways that include, individual assessment and establishment of personal targets, the use of learning support assistants and later Form Tutors and when appropriate, differentiated work.

Target Setting

This strategy provides a powerful motivator for students and helps students learn the importance of working towards specific goals. Parents and teachers too, are provided with a realistic basis for assessing the progress and achievement of each student.
