Our curriculum naturally offers a range of extension opportunities for Big Thinkers and Dreamers, who demonstrate an exceptional aptitude for one or more areas of learning.
Regent offers over 60 extracurricular activities (which besides sports also include the World Scholar’s Cup, Model UN, our Performing Arts Academy and much more) to suit the interests of every child and develop their personality and character strengths (like perseverance and leadership and teamwork skills).
Additionally, we offer lunchtime Enrichment Clubs, as well as a wide range of extra-curricular activities and competitive opportunities, to challenge our students further. Our diverse Creative and Performing Arts curriculum comprises art and design, creative writing, music, drama, dance and ballet, debate and public speaking.
Music plays a key role in our school’s holistic approach to education as it gives promotes creative expression, cognitive development and creativity. Teachers weave Music across the entire curriculum and all year groups.
All students are encouraged to learn an instrument of their choice. Gifted students who wish to consider Music as a choice of higher study and or profession as encouraged.
Regent has an Academy for the Performing Arts (RISSPAA) which provides students varied opportunities to learn a variety of musical instruments and skills, develop an appreciation of music, enhance their creativity, and have fun. Regent has a talented team of qualified and professional music teachers. Whatever the student’s goal, whether it is to prepare for the Trinity or ABRSM Music exams, learn an instrument or just have fun jamming in a band, the Academy for the Performing Arts is there to fulfil it.
We strongly believe in providing all students the opportunity to access, experience and contribute to various aspects of the creative process from script to stage. This can take the form of extracurricular activities, trips and workshops as well as getting involved in whole-school productions either as performers or backstage crew. Regent is renowned for our theatre productions and we consistently draw full house. Every year, our productions get more and more ambitious and the large portion of student body is involved.
We take students to various festivals and events held locally in Dubai to enrich their learning and broaden their horizons. The festivals and events range from the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature, Art Dubai, Dubai Design District, Dubai Museum, Dubai Fitness Fest, Dubai Opera and many others.
All students are encouraged to participate in at least one sport of their choice. In addition, gifted and talented students are invited to apply to our sports squads in Football, Swimming, Netball and Basketball. Regent participates in a number of sports leagues and is a member of the Dubai Affiliated School Sports Association (“DASSA”), a well-established body that organises leagues and tournaments for schools in Dubai throughout the year. In addition, we play friendly matches with other schools which have competitive squads. We typically schedule games after school hours during the week, and on weekends to make it easier for parents to come and watch. Our students often train before and after school hours on week-days and weekends for the competitions.
