Academic Life

Lower School (Grades 1 - 5)

Nurturing young learners through academic excellence, cultural values, and personal growth.

The foundation for future learning is laid in the ISC-Al Ain Lower School (Grades 1–5). During these early years, children become more aware of themselves and the world around them. We believe that, in this period, if children develop a positive attitude towards learning, then the foundation for academic achievement is laid.
