Al Rayana Charter School
A FULLY INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
CATERING TO THE NEEDS OF EVERY CHILD, EVERY DAY
Al Rayana Charter School is the founding Charter School of the UAE. We are proud to provide a fully inclusive education for all our students. Our motto is “Growing Hearts and Minds Together,” reminding us to respect ourselves and others, while embracing differences. It is our aim to ensure that every child achieves their given potential in all aspects of their learning journey, in order to meet academic, social and personal goals.
At Al Rayana Charter School, we ensure that all students reach their full potential, regardless of their backgrounds. We provide high-quality education, as well as a safe, secure and nurturing environment, building a community of confident learners who are committed to success, excellence and continuous learning.
We have high expectations of ourselves, our students and our families. Our big dreams and great goals ensure that we develop future leaders of the UAE. Last year, we successfully achieved our “Best Year Yet.” In Academic Year 2022/23, we are committed to even better outcomes for our students with our “Best Year Ever.”
At Al Rayana Charter School, we stand for:
• Unity, diversity and tolerance
• Excellence and pride
• Determination and resilience
By instilling a love of learning for all, we celebrate unity, diversity and tolerance through our lessons, assemblies, events and day-to-day interactions.
In line with the UAE national agenda, we are committed to nurturing excellence and pride in our students. We preserve the culture and heritage of the UAE through our whole-school thematic approach to learning.
We promote Costa’s Habits of Mind through the dual-task principle, which develops students’ real-life problem-solving skills. Our aim is to show students how to be determined and resilient in challenging situations, and to give them the skills they need to succeed beyond our walls.
At Al Rayana Charter School, we promise to:
1. Instill a great sense of national pride in all students, embracing and preserving UAE culture and heritage.
2. Deliver high-quality instruction through reflective professional development opportunities, continuously improving outcomes for students.
3. Empower our students to be creative and innovative in and beyond their learning experiences.
4. Provide a tailored and personalized curriculum that meets all student needs at individual levels on the learning continuum.
5. Build on the existing, effective partnerships with parents and stakeholders to further enhance our communication, collaboration and communication processes in all matters related to school improvement.
At Al Rayana Charter School, our impressive kindergarten and elementary campuses serve as the community's heartbeat. Our libraries play a fundamental role in promoting a love for reading, as do our online library, our Tuck in Tuesday at-home reading program and our Daily 5 English language arts sessions.
We embrace aptitude, talent and interest through our extensive sports facilities, which include two multi-purpose halls, an artificial football pitch and three basketball courts. As our school continues to grow, we are always seeking opportunities to compete in local, national and international competitions.
Our three iSTREAM rooms provide students with opportunities to develop 21st century skills. Within these spaces, students learn coding skills through LEGO League, immerse themself in other cultures through the use of virtual reality and become the inventors of tomorrow with our 3D Printers.
