Emirati Program
Ignite School is proud to provide high-quality education to Emirati students through a holistic and culturally inclusive approach. This program is designed to promote national identity, academic excellence, and future readiness. At the heart of our approach is a culturally responsive learning environment that respects and nurtures the values, language, and traditions of the Emirati community. The school places a strong emphasis on strategic planning, inclusive admissions, effective use of data to support student progress, and the implementation of modern teaching methodologies aligned with 21st-century skills. Emirati students are supported by dedicated leadership and benefit from strong partnerships with higher education institutions and key industries that prepare them for post-secondary success.
Arabic language development is a core pillar of the Emirati Student Program. Since language plays a crucial role in shaping identity and preserving cultural heritage, Ignite School ensures that Arabic Language Arts is given significant importance across all grade levels. Families are encouraged to reinforce the use of Arabic at home by reading, watching Arabic media, and engaging in meaningful conversations in the mother tongue. These practices not only enhance language proficiency but also deepen students’ connection to their culture and community.
support academic achievement, each Emirati student is guided toward obtaining UAE equivalency for their high school diploma in accordance with KHDA regulations. The school offers tailored support programs to help students meet the necessary academic benchmarks, including a minimum score of 400 in the SAT Math component and the required TOEFL scores (CBT 173+ or iBT 61+). This ensures that Emirati students graduate with credentials that prepare them for both local and international opportunities.
