Where nature, creativity, and culture come alive
Beyond core academics, Al Fanar offers a rich world of experience that nurtures identity, imagination, and belonging.
Outdoor and Nature-Based Learning
Nature is not a break from learning - it is the teacher. Children garden, build, observe, and explore outdoors every day, connecting with the rhythms of the land and local seasons.
Arts, Movement and Making
Creativity flows through our school. From clay and handwork to music and expressive movement, children develop skill, confidence, and voice through making and doing.
Cultural Identity and Language
We honour the heritage of the UAE. Arabic and Islamic Education are woven through song, story, and cultural ritual, helping children build pride in their identity while embracing diversity.
Supporting a Low-Tech, High-Presence Approach
At Al Fanar, we intentionally minimise screen use in the early years, focusing instead on hands-on, relational, and sensory-rich learning. Digital tools are introduced gradually in the upper primary years, in line with UAE and NCfE expectations - always with purpose and balance. By keeping childhood rooted in real-world experiences, we support stronger focus, emotional wellbeing, and creative thinking.
