What Makes Us Unique?

At Al Salam Community School diversity is celebrated, and tolerance and
inclusion underpin our collective sense of purpose. We are proud to uphold
values as a community school that resonate with Dubai 's vision, and this is
reflected in every aspect of our learning environment. Our biggest advantage
is that Al Salam Community School is an independent school. Indeed we are one
of the few remaining independent family owned schools in Dubai. Our intake of
school makes us rather unique, with a truly diverse range of students and
teachers from ethnicity, nationality, academic ability, socio-economic
backgrounds. We foster high aspirations in all our learners, nurture their
curiosity and cultivate their imagination. Our new and purposefully designed
facilities and learning areas promote a comprehensive extra-curricular
programme with character development at its very heart. Thus, we are fully
