Emirates Literature Foundation (ELF)
We are just 1 of 6 schools in the UAE invited to participate in the Emirate Literature Foundation’s Reading for Pleasure Initiative. This project aims to foster the love of reading, particularly in young people, through a variety of initiatives such as author visits, monthly book clubs, literary field trips, professional development sessions for staff as well as parent workshops. We are proud to have been chosen to take the lead in this initiative and hope to inspire and empower the younger generation to unlock a passion for lifelong learning through reading. Under this 5 year pilot scheme, our aim is to become a centre of reading excellence and a model for other schools in the UAE.

The Alliance for Sustainable Schools
Earlier this year, we officially signed the Charter for the Alliance for Sustainable Schools. The Alliance for Sustainable Schools is a growing network of schools around the world working together for a sustainable future through a shared commitment to the principles of the Sustainable Schools Charter. The Alliance is at least three things: a community of practice for sustainability in schools, a network, and an agent of change. The Charter is an acknowledgement and a promise by school principals to students and other members of TASS – an acknowledgement of the seriousness of our ecological crises and a promise to consider sustainability principles in the school’s operations and decision-making.

Our partnership with the Al-Futtaim Education Foundation Centre for Education Action Research (CEAR) aims to jointly pursue education action research-related projects which support and promote best practices and share research findings to thereby improve the standards of teaching at both AFEF schools, as well as other schools in the UAE and beyond.
