Education

The Curriculum
The school offers a dual curriculum which allows its students to follow the UAE Ministry of Education syllabus in parallel with a US syllabus through a hybrid learning model. Students spend part of their day in conventional classes for the local content courses and then use specialised computer rooms to interact with online tutors for the American content under the supervision of classroom learning facilitators. It is this mode of study that makes the DWC High School different from other high schools by allowing each student to follow an individualized study path according to her educational needs. Research indicates that this combination of online and face-to-face instruction significantly improves academic achievement.
