The main activity of the Russian private school in Dubai, as well as of any other high school, is the educational process, the purpose of which is the consistent implementation of Russia's federal policy in the field of general education, guaranteeing the right of citizens to receive quality education. The only difference is that the Russian private school in Dubai performs this function, being many thousands of kilometers from Russia. Huge and comprehensive assistance to the school in its daily work is provided by the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Dubai and the Northern Emirates and personally by the Consul General Sergey Alekseevich Krasnogor.
One of the main tasks of the Russian school is the creation of all conditions for the development of a creative personality in every child. A personality-oriented approach to learning, in-depth study of the English language, integrated lessons, the introduction of new technologies - all this increases the interest in knowledge, promotes the development of creative principles in every child. Great attention is paid to extracurricular activities at the school, as it shows the ability of each child to fulfill himself particularly clearly.
Dubai Russian school is a territory of health. The introduction of health-saving technologies, caring for children's health, and promoting a healthy lifestyle is one of the important priorities of the educational process. Today, developing technologies are widely used in the school’s practice, non-standard teaching methods are actively used: scientific and practical conferences, seminars, business and role-playing games, trainings and discussions. In the Russian school of Dubai, the material base is constantly being improved: a computer class has already been created, new technical equipment is being acquired that allows students to actively participate in design and research work. But the main event for all students and teachers of the school was, perhaps, a new library.
This academic year, the Russian School in Dubai received an excellent library from the Government of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, which was made possible thanks to the assistance of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the UAE and personally Pavel Gennadievich Merkulov, Chargé d'Affaires of the Russian Federation in the UAE, and Sergey Anatolyevich Tokarev, representative of the Coordinating Council of Russian compatriots in the UAE. A carefully selected library, which includes modern encyclopedic publications and dictionaries, fiction books, both for study in the framework of the school curriculum and for extracurricular reading, didactic materials for students, teaching aids and recommendations for teachers, and even portraits of prominent Russian and foreign writers , scientists, composers, not a single Russian school or gymnasium could envy. Today, all this wealth belongs to the students and teachers of the Russian Private School in Dubai.
An effective educational tool is the participation of students in the system of additional education. The children are enthusiastically engaged in applied arts circles, the Kalinka school dance group, young correspondents and artists regularly publish the school newspaper "CHANCE" (School News and Sensations Agency), and the actors delight the students and their parents with wonderful performances. With great desire, students of the school visit the educational and leisure institutions of Dubai and Sharjah, with which the school collaborates: museums, parks, centers for the development of children and adolescents, the Dubai Dolphinarium, water parks. There is no doubt that all the good traditions in the school live and come to life, thanks to the creative energy of teachers. The school has a professional teaching staff. Out of 20 people, 18 have a higher pedagogical education, two of them have a Ph.D. degree and two are awarded the title of "Excellent student of public education."
An analysis of the quality of education of students at the Russian Private School in Dubai shows that the number of children learning the program material “good” and “excellent” is growing annually. But still, the main pride of the school is its graduates. For 13 years, 143 graduates left its walls. Many of them study or have already graduated from prestigious higher educational institutions in the UAE, Russia, Great Britain, Australia, Germany, France and the CIS countries. Currently, the school maintains the warmest relations with them. Graduates are frequent guests at school. We rejoice in their success. In her essay, “Why I go to school with joy,” one of the graduates once wrote: “My school is an island of Joy, the cult of Kindness reigns here. Here the most wonderful teachers teach here to empathize, here they teach to be a Man.” For successes in training and education, the Russian private school in Dubai has been repeatedly encouraged by numerous diplomas, letters of appreciation received from the UAE Ministry of Education. The teaching staff of the school is well aware that getting a good education by children primarily depends on the skill of the teacher. Therefore, teachers of the school have new heights ahead - an active search is underway for innovative ways in educating the young generation and answers to the most pressing questions. What is the role of a teacher in creating a situation of success? How to teach a child to learn in modern conditions? How to make parents partners in the educational process? How to increase learning motivation? How to teach children tolerance, the ability to value and respect other cultures and traditions? And these are just a few of the tasks that need to be addressed.
Today, the Russian Private School in Dubai is a modern view of education, the search for new optimal ways in training and education, this is the close cooperation of parents, children and teachers. This is a bright, unique world of childhood and youth. But the most important thing is that very soon the Russian Private School in Dubai will be able to invite its students to a new spacious school building. We will write about this event and try to be one of the first to congratulate the teachers and students of the Russian private school with a housewarming party.
