Learning Support Assistant; UAE National - Regent International School

About Us

Imagine schools with a variety of educational pathways, where the academic skills of literacy, critical thinking, innovation, numeracy, creativity, self‑control and work ethic are taught in parallel with the skills of wellbeing, including self‑confidence, contentment, kindness, gratitude, health, and love. Welcome to Fortes Education, Dubai. We have been delivering high quality education provision to young people for over two decades.

Our Positive Education schools foster active engagement in learning and activities. We celebrate positive emotions and accomplishments, encourage students to cultivate fulfilling relationships with others and to seek meaning and purpose in their own lives. We set high standards and expectations for each pupil in academics and in co‑curricular participation.

Our high‑impact learning programme lays a strong foundation that develops each pupil’s multiple intelligences through a broad range of activities in and out of the classroom. Our commitment is to provide a premium world‑class “positive” education, which empowers our pupils to become innovative thinkers, socially confident life‑long learners, having growth mindsets and character strengths, to flourish in an ever‑changing world.

RIS is a well‑established primary school following the National Curriculum for England. RIS has been consistently delivering proven results in the classroom since inception and has been known to be one of the leading schools in Dubai. In the recent inspection by the Dubai School Inspection Bureau, RIS was judged as ‘Very Good’ and has been known to deliver proven results in the classroom since inception.

As a result of the great success and popularity of Regent International School, last year we launched our secondary school, commencing with Years 7 and 8. An innovative project‑based curriculum, with excellent student‑teacher ratios and personalised learning, has seen our new secondary school attract significant attention and so we are excited to invite you to join us in further developing the new secondary school at Regent as we extend through to Year 11 and our first GCSE and BTEC graduates in 2024.

We have created an inspiring curriculum where maths, the sciences, and technology converge with the arts and humanities to create future leaders and thinkers. We have an outstanding team of secondary teachers who have designed a curriculum that has a strong STEAM focus where students explore, research, and solve real‑world problems. Students will think critically and creatively, work collaboratively, and lead empathetically.
