Life at Emirates American School (EAS) is a vibrant and enriching experience that extends beyond the classroom. Our dynamic daily routine includes diverse activities, from student-led clubs and leadership roles to community service initiatives. We foster a supportive environment where students explore their interests through various co-curricular and extracurricular programs, including arts, music, sports, and academic clubs. With a strong emphasis on holistic development, EAS ensures that every student thrives academically, socially, and personally, preparing them to become responsible global citizens.
The day at EAS begins with the calm greeting of "Assalamu Alaykum" from teachers, setting a respectful and welcoming tone. As students respond with "Wa Alaykum Assalam," they proceed to their respective classrooms. This morning ritual fosters mutual respect and a peaceful beginning to the day, making every child feel part of the EAS family.
Classes commence promptly. Teachers guide students to their seats, remind them of classroom rules, and emphasize the importance of respectful and focused behavior. Attendance is taken care of diligently, with any absences promptly reported to the supervisory staff, ensuring every child's safety and accountability.
A brief respite follows the morning lessons. Students enjoy a short break to relax, have a snack, and socialize with their peers. These moments of leisure are crucial for mental rejuvenation and foster camaraderie.
The academic momentum continues post-break with diverse subjects aligned with the curriculum. Teachers continue to ensure learning objectives are met, offering individualized support as necessary. This dedication to academic rigor ensures your child receives a well-rounded education.
Lunchtime is a balanced mixture of nourishment and relaxation. In our well-equipped cafeteria, students have access to various nutritious options, promoting healthy eating habits. Post-lunch, students have some time to play or participate in extracurricular activities, fostering physical fitness and multifaceted development.
Afternoons at EAS often revolve around more creative and physically engaging subjects such as arts, physical education, or other co-curricular activities. By incorporating diverse learning experiences, we aim to develop well-rounded individuals proficient in various skills.
As the day concludes, a plenary session allows teachers to assess the day's achievements, give feedback, and assign homework if necessary. This session ensures students leave with a clear understanding of their progress and prepares them for subsequent lessons.
Students pack up and prepare for dismissal when the first bell rings. Whether your child takes the school bus or is picked up by you, we ensure a smooth and safe transition from school to home.
For those who wish to stay back, EAS offers a range of after-school programs, clubs, and sports activities. These additional opportunities allow students to explore their interests, develop new skills, and foster friendships beyond the classroom setting.
