Excel International School Al Ain brings with it a freshness which is not commonly found in this part of the world. When passion and commitment work together to reach newer heights, students learn more, teachers raise expectations and the school excels!

Simple but exhaustive and powerful ideas are at the heart of Excel International School. Every stage in the life of our student will be an adventure. Learning outside the classroom through adventurous activities or inside the classroom through innovation is known to have significant educational benefits. It helps children develop technical, intellectual and social skills by overcoming challenges and sharing decisions. From a psychological perspective, our students to develop a ‘can do’ attitude that can be applied to all aspects of school life. A sense of determination is instilled which gives them the confidence to face up to challenges, express and deal with emotions, and a desire to succeed.

DISCOVERY FOREST

The Discovery Forest, an awe-inspiring nature-filled resource area, is creatively designed for curious young minds as they pass through Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Sensory resources will activate all five senses of the little ones passing by touching and smelling the aroma of different leaves while hearing the nearby water gushing into the irrigation project. Heading to their plantation beds they prepare the soil to plant their seeds or cuddle up either on their soft cushions or climb onto their imaginative mushroom stools and get engrossed in their reading! They may find their friends either having a blast because it’s their rainy day in the rain area or they may find some in the market area trying out new vocabulary during their role-play period! The novel amphitheater gives them endless opportunities to express themselves in drama and art and the innovative sand box will not distract them when they learn what to think and how to think – enhancing their metacognitive abilities!

 

CURIOSITY LABS

For the restless and inquisitive minds of Key Stage 3, we have created the most exciting Curiosity Labs and the Maker's Labs. These labs are the answer to quench their thirst for curiosity and students are kept totally busy in finding the answers to their own unstoppable questions of how, why, who, when and what, by doing, investigating, observing and experimenting!

LIFE SKILLS

As high school educators with varied levels of experience in the field, we recognized our students were being taught to regurgitate information upon request, rather than to think, plan, and act independently. To counter this, the Life Skills Training Track has been created for our Key Stage 4 students. While preparing for their IGCSE, AS and A Levels qualification, they are taught communication and interpersonal skills, decision-making and problem-solving, creative and critical thinking, emotional intelligence with self-awareness and empathy.

 

The sister schools of Excel have accomplished much in bringing excellent results in the all-important exams, year after year. Without any inhibition we can hope by God’s will, Excel boys and girls will follow suit by achieving impressive results in academics, sports and skill development.
