Al Yasmina School
Located within Al Raha Gardens adjacent to the Abu Dhabi Golf Club, Al Yasmina school has a capacity for over 900 nursery and primary pupils and 1,000 secondary pupils.
Our new school offers an International British Curriculum to children from 3 to 18 years. Opened in September 2008, it currently caters to children from Foundation 1 (KG1) to year 9. In subsequent years it will 'grow through' to Year 13. The adoption of an all-age school model delivers many advantages including continuity of education and the elimination of any slippage associated with primary to secondary transfer. The large school role enables the provision of a broad and balanced curriculum which meets the individual strengths and talents of pupils.
In addition to a wide range of academic classrooms and administrative areas, the school also provides excellent specialist facilities. The school offers a 25-metre pool as well as a smaller learner pool, a large gymnasium, two junior halls, an activity studio, two Astroturf pitches and recreational areas. There are also separate and secure play areas for each of the different school stages.
The school places a high value on creative arts and technology and sees many benefits in the interrelationship between these subjects. Our state-of-the-art Design Technology department provides specialist areas for learning activities relating to food preparation, resistant materials and electronics. Our performance spaces include an auditorium, amphitheatre, drama studio and recital rooms.
