Opening in September 2008 with a modest 60 students aged between 3 and 8 years, Star International School, Umm Sheif thrived by growing ‘organically’ year by year and currently opens its doors every morning to almost 900 students ranging from Foundation 1 up to Year 10 (Key Stage 4). In June 2013 the school was purchased by Al Najah Education and has continued to expand into Key Stage 3 as part of the journey towards becoming an inclusive 3 – 18 school delivering the highest quality education following the English Curriculum.
As we forge ahead into the 2014-15 Academic Year, now named Horizon International School, our community embarks on yet another exciting phase in the school’s development. We feel we have made fantastic progress during the last six years and now have a vibrant community oriented school which is not only thriving but has the potential to become a truly unique educational establishment in Dubai. We have changed our school vision to reinforce our belief that school should be the beginning of a person’s lifelong love for learning as well as a time for personal growth in order to give them the confidence to mature and find their place in the world. We make no apology that there is no mention in our vision of child, student or pupil – we feel that our words are applicable to all ages:
