Digital Learning

Digital literacy skills helps students become lifelong learners, the benefits of which succeed past graduation.

Through the thoughtful integration of technology into our everyday lessons, Digital Literacy enables students to actively engage with ideas to enhance the learning experience. Studies show that this critical 21st-century learning skill positively impacts student growth and achievement. Regent benefits from Fortes’ two decades of technical know-how and is a completely technology-enabled school which fosters greater innovation, creativity and impact in our teaching and learning.

The quality of the curriculum provided by the school is outstanding.
It is broad and balanced, and enriched by a wide range of extracurricular activities. A thematic approach is used across the school to develop learning through connections across subjects, context and the pupils’ passions.

KHDA Report

My role model is Elon Musk and to become a tech entrepreneur.
Regent has given me the skills and confidence to get there. In a variety of STEAM & Project-based Learning projects, I have worked with classmates learning to code in Python and Java, build robotic vehicles, and construct IoT sensors. We have won multiple competitions in the UAE and abroad for our tech projects and talent. Remember my name because I promise you will hear a lot more about me.

Possibilities are infinite at Regent for a child.
There are no limits to let my child’s imagination grow at Regent. He has become extremely ambitious in his thinking and outlook and what he believes he can do, which is great. Children are encouraged to take chances, try anything and not be afraid.

The strong sense of community makes Regent more than just a great place for study.
It’s a great place for families to get to know each other and make new friends. The Regent community spirit is outstanding.

Regent has given my daughter a new start.
This school has encouraged her to gain confidence and to express herself. The teachers are always available to help. My child has blossomed and is so heartening to see her inner wonder come out.

Digital Literacy is our way of life

How do you prepare your child for the jobs of tomorrow? In fact, what jobs will exist in 10, 20, 30 years from now? What jobs need to be created? More importantly, what skills, aptitudes and character strengths will be needed by your child in order for them to flourish both now and in the future? Studies show that Digital Learning is a critical 21st-century learning skill that positively impacts student growth and achievement.

Students use our technology to publish work online; submit homework; collaborate with other students on projects; receive classroom instruction and assessments; access the digital library; and plan their diaries and co-curricular and extracurricular activities. We also use technology to track and monitor student achievements, enabling students to identify their character strengths and work towards improving these through Positive Education.

At Regent, we recognise the importance of digital literacy for all learners. We have successfully enabled a ‘Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD) programme from Year 3 where students bring in laptop and tablet devices that can connect to the school network, internet, Virtual Learning Environment and e-library. They are able to work with greater interactivity, connectivity and collaboration; access information faster; and share, publish and submit their works online. View our BYOD Policy here.

Parents use our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) application to track their child’s progress, educational goals and programmes of study, homework, planning, attendance, behaviour and rewards and recognitions; and to share and receive information with stakeholders in school.
