OUR DIFFERENCE -
OUR OUTSTANDING TEACHERS

We have a diverse leadership team at Regent with different responsibilities all inspired by one common purpose – to do what’s right for our students. 

Our educators have taught at leading schools globally, hail from top-ranked universities in the UK, and constantly hone and enhance their skills with our Continued Professional Development initiatives. We encourage teachers to take risks, make creative choices and innovate to keep improving our education and keep Regent at the forefront of cutting-edge teaching. 

 Our entire leadership team and our teachers live, teach, and practise the principles of Positive Education (PosEd) in every initiative they undertake.  

We incorporate empathy and compassion at every step and more importantly, we prioritise each child’s wellbeing so they develop a deep-rooted love for learning and acquire skills to direct their own learning. 

My child is really happy at Regent.

He knows this is a safe and fun environment, his feels loved and nourished,

and his mental wellbeing always comes first.

Liudmila Oberfeld, Regent Parent

My kids love the school! Teachers and staff are approachable,

friendly, and ready to listen to our concerns and

always address our children's individual needs! Highly recommended!

Nagham Ezzeddine, Regent Parent

Each day at the school has been amazing for my daughter.

She loves learning new things and

Regent provides the right opportunities for her.

Nazish Khan, Regent Parent

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.

Suparna Menon, Partner MEA, IBM iX, Guest Speaker

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.

Children are encouraged to take chances, try anything and not be afraid.

John Wesley, Regent Parent

Regent is an amazing school with great facilities and an exceptional learning environment for all year groups and ages.

The strong sense of community makes Regent more than just a place to study
