Choosing the right curriculum is one of the most important decisions for your child’s education and future. In Abu Dhabi, Indian parents are fortunate to have excellent options, but one curriculum stands out for its global recognition, future-readiness, and holistic approach — the British Curriculum.
At Diyafah International School, Abu Dhabi, we offer a world-class British curriculum experience that nurtures not just academic excellence, but also critical thinking, creativity, and global citizenship.
Here’s why the British Curriculum is the best investment you can make in your child’s future — especially compared to traditional CBSE education.
While CBSE has been historically knowledge-heavy, the British Curriculum emphasises how students think, apply, and create. Beyond memorising facts, students learn to question, explore, solve problems, and think independently — essential skills for success in university and future careers.
Rather than focusing purely on rote learning, assessments in the British Curriculum — especially at GCSE and A-Level stages — focus on:
This builds deeper understanding, academic resilience, and exam techniques that prepare students for competitive environments.
At Diyafah International School, students study a wide variety of subjects such as:
This balanced approach develops creativity, emotional intelligence, and life skills — not just academics.
The British Curriculum strongly supports personalised learning, catering to:
Every child is nurtured according to their strengths and challenges so no one is left behind.
In today’s rapidly evolving world, creativity is as important as literacy. From early years onwards, subjects like Computing, Design Technology, and Expressive Arts foster innovation and problem-solving among students.
GCSEs and A-Levels under the British Curriculum are globally recognised, opening doors to universities across:
For Indian students seeking global pathways, British curriculum credentials offer unrivalled advantages.
The National Curriculum is dynamic and updated regularly to reflect 21st-century priorities such as:
This ensures students stay aligned with tomorrow’s universities and job markets.
One of the most powerful features of the British Curriculum is its structured progression, where each year builds on the previous one with increasing depth and challenge.
This “spiral curriculum” ensures students revisit topics at deeper levels, mastering concepts step-by-step.
We combine the British Curriculum with a strong value system, personal care, and a multicultural learning environment. Our teachers, facilities, and holistic programs help shape confident, compassionate, and capable global citizens.
These platforms help students build skills in public speaking, global understanding, creativity, and critical thinking.
As a true British Curriculum school, our PE department offers after-school programmes for boys and girls. Students participate in:
Swimming is also a mandatory part of our curriculum, ensuring holistic physical development.
If you are seeking a curriculum that prepares your child not just for the next exam, but for life itself — the British Curriculum at Diyafah International School is the clear choice.
