Raha International School

International

We send our children to Raha because nothing is ever ordinary Parent

Welcome to Raha

Choosing the right school to bring out the best in your child is one of the most important decisions you will ever make.

At Raha International School, a member of the Taaleem family of schools, we believe that a successful education is all about inspired, imaginative teaching, centred on the learner as an individual. We nurture students not only to achieve academic success but also to become true global citizens. Raha is an International Baccalaureate World School catering for all grades from Minis to Grade 12 (ages 3-18). Our school community is made up of over 2,500 students from over 80 nations who collectively speak 45 mother tongues. We pride ourselves on being a big school but a small family!

Raha International School (now Gardens Campus) is the first school in Abu Dhabi to achieve accreditation in the full IB curriculum. The IB is internationally acclaimed and respected for its relevance to today’s multicultural and increasingly global society. Raha (now Gardens Campus) is also one of only a few schools, and the first K-12 school in Abu Dhabi, to be awarded the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) highest rating of “Outstanding”, an amazing achievement for our staff and students.

Our programmes feature an inquiry approach that aligns student interest with what they learn, thereby enriching their natural curiosity and promoting a love of learning. Our team of internationally-experienced, skilled and passionate teachers model the attributes of the IB Learner Profile and encourage students to “respect themselves, others and the world around them”.

A strong sense of common purpose pervades our learning community. We believe that trust and strong parental participation are an integral part of a quality education and we see parents as our partners in their children’s learning journey.

Thank you for your expression of interest in Raha International School and we look forward to welcoming you and your family.

The IB Curriculum

Why is the IB ideal for students to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners?

In our dynamic and nurturing Early Years children are given opportunities to construct and expand their knowledge and understanding through shared experiences, play and discovery in an organised, safe and stimulating environment.

The Primary Years Programme focuses on the development of the whole child by addressing social, physical, emotional, cultural and academic needs for learners. It is designed to build upon the natural curiosity of the child and to develop individuals who are both independent learners and international citizens.

The Middle Years Programme aims to help students develop their personal understanding, emerging sense of self and responsibility in their community. It provides a framework of learning which encourages students to become creative, critical and reflective thinkers.

The Diploma Programme is a two-year, academically challenging, rigorous and balanced programme that prepares students for success at university and life beyond. It has been designed to address the intellectual, social, emotional and physical well-being of young adults. It also prepares students for effective participation in a rapidly evolving and increasingly global society.

School Life

Osrah

Arabic for ‘family’, the aim of our ‘Osrah’ system is to provide our students with a sense of belonging, spirit and purpose at Raha International School.

It encourages team motivation and ensures all our students aspire to become fully rounded young people, both inside and outside of school. Students will have a sense of ownership for their ‘Osrah’ through a range of sporting and cultural events and competitions.

Language Support

At Raha we offer an ‘English as an Additional Language’ (EAL) support programme. The purpose of this programme is to assist students whose first language is not English.

The EAL students’ progress is monitored, and they can enter and exit the programme as needed. Flexible support options are available depending on the needs of each student.

Inclusion

The inclusion programme is offered to students who have learning difficulties. Our dedicated team of specialists support children with personalised intervention and support delivered through either in-class support, individual or small group teaching.

Extra-Curricular Programme

Raha has always placed a huge emphasis on its Extra-curricular Programme (ECP). It is often said that shared activities outside regular scheduled school hours create the strongest memories, and with this in mind the activities offered by the school are many and varied. A sample of activities on offer include:

Creative Writing, Choir, Robotics, Yoga, Golf, Arabic Calligraphy, Mad Science, and much more.

Our Extra-curricular Programme activities run term-to-term.

Competitive Sports Programme

Raha’s competitive sports programme is run separately to the extra-curricular programme. Competitive sports team tryouts take place at the start of each term. Students on a sports team will train at least once per week either before or after school and will also attend a fixture once per week.

Raha International School is a very active member of the Abu Dhabi International School Sports Association (ADISSA) through which our tournaments and competitions are organized.

Special Events

Raha and the Parent Team host several events throughout the Academic Year to celebrate our community, including: International Day, National Day, the Global Explorers Scavenger Hunt, Raha’s Got Talent and much more.

School fees are subject to change and are published only once the school receives approval from the Abu Dhabi Department of Education & Knowledge (ADEK). Current fees can be found on our website at ris.ae/admissions/tuition-fees.

Fees are payable in three instalments due one month prior to the start of term.

General Information

Devices

At Raha, we use technology as one of our tools to enhance learning. These devices are used to support independent inquiry, delve deeper into understanding concepts and skills and to show their knowledge and understanding.

Students joining Grades 1 to 12 will need to bring their own device to and from school each day. As we are an Apple school, we strongly recommend Apple devices as it helps with compatibility of the digital resources used by the teachers.

In PYP (Grade 1-Grade 5) this means an iPad. Students in Grades 3-5 may also choose a keyboard case to assist with typing and a stylus to help with digital creativity.

Students in Grade 5 may choose to transition to a Macbook in preparation for MYP.

In MYP and DP we recommend the Macbook Air or Pro, and in DP Art to create digital artwork, we recommend an iPad with an Apple pencil.

Transportation

Raha International School and Taaleem have contracted Seven Stars Transport Company, a highly experienced and established bus transportation company. Seven Stars School Buses Transportation is responsible for the entire transport operations such as new registrations, re-registrations, transport fee collections, route planning and customer services.

While every effort will be made to accommodate all requests, the decision of whether the student is being allocated a seat rests with Seven Stars School Buses Transportation. This is dependent on seat availability, and the student’s residency and established bus route. Note that some areas of Abu Dhabi are not serviced. Please contact transportation@ris.ae to enquire about bus routes.
