Regent International School | Positive Education School in Dubai

POSITIVE EDUCATION ETHOS

Outstanding education is not just defined by great academics and personal accomplishments but also by character, values and wellbeing.  This maxim lies at the core of Positive Education (PosED), a concept that has caused a paradigm shift in global education, with governments, schools and parents acknowledging the correlation between a child’s ‘wellbeing’ and his/her ‘achievements.’

Regent International School, one of the best schools in Dubai, is a recognised global leader in PosED among international schools by the International Positive Education Network (IPEN), US. PosEd combines positive psychology and effective teaching practices to enable society to flourish, and motivate children to be more effective learners, and happy, healthy individuals

“The ethos in all my schools is ‘happy children make successful learners’. From my 60 years of experience in education, and research conducted by thought leaders like Martin Seligman*, I believe that if you develop a child’s values, character and wellbeing, success will follow.”

Mrs. Shakuntala Mankani,
Founder, Fortes Education

*Martin E.P. Seligman, April 2011, “Flourish: A visionary new understanding of happiness and wellbeing.” (Mr. Seligman is a chief proponent of Positive Education.)

REGENT'S GLOBAL POSED PARTNERSHIPS

Regent International School has a close partnership with global leader Geelong Grammar School, Australia.

Every Regent teacher is trained in PosEd and incorporates PosEd techniques and methodologies in their lessons. Our students participate in weekly meetings about character strengths and observe mindful moments in the Wellbeing Room. 

If children stumble, we reframe their understanding and experience as a “First Attempt in Learning” (F.A.I.L). We have a steadfast commitment to the wellbeing of our students and staff, a commitment that has grown stronger with each year.

It was an honour to have enriching interactions with the students and nurturers of Regent on their unique platform,

Think & Thrive. I was impressed by the students’ perceptive and mature observations and questions.

Possibilities are infinite at Regent. There are no limits to letting my child's imagination grow.

He has become ambitious in his thinking and outlook, which is great.
