Middle School
In the Middle School, all students will take 10 GCSEs. In addition, students will undertake Moral Education in the form of Positive Education Days and Games. Students in Year 10 will take UAE Social Studies.
The core GCSE Curriculum is made up of the following subjects:
- Mathematics
- English Literature
- English Language (IGCSE taken by all students at the end of Year 10)
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Islamic Studies (for Muslim students)
To encourage a balanced curriculum, students choose four optional subjects, which must include:
- Arabic, French or Spanish;
- Computer Science, Economics, Geography or History;
- Art, Design and Technology, Drama, Latin, Music or Physical Education.
Students are encouraged to follow a wide range of co-curricular activities, which includes the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme at bronze level in Year 10 and silver level in Year 11.
Middle School Careers Programme
At Dubai College, we are dedicated to creating opportunities for our students to explore and discover careers. Our focus for middle school is to provide students with a wide range of opportunities in Year 10, which they can then use to narrow down their interests in Year 11 and beyond.
