2012 sees the addition of a third The Children's Garden and Uptown School, a Pre-k to G 12 International Baccalaureate School

22 April 2012: After successfully opening six schools and two nurseries in Dubai and Abu Dhabi since 2005, Taaleem is set to launch a new kindergarten and International Baccalaureate school, both due to open in September this year, further answering the demands from families in Dubai.

The Children's Garden, which successfully operates a facility in The Green Community, Dubai Investments Park and on Jumeira Road, will open its latest addition in Al Barsha 2, in close proximity to the Al Barsha Mall and Mall of the Emirates. The Children's Garden Barsha will deliver the International Curriculum for Languages and Creative Arts (ICLCA), a structured and progressive kindergarten programme for children from two to six years old. In contrast to other Early Years programmes, the ICLCA offers an innovative combination of best educational practices, delivering a contemporary and holistic approach to education appropriate for the 21st century.

Situated on a 6 hectares plot in Mirdif, Uptown School, sister school of the much sought-after Uptown Primary School, will feature large classrooms filled with natural light and an impressive array of facilities such as: two multi-purpose sports halls, a 400 meter Olympic-standard running track with sports field, two full-size soccer/sports pitches, two swimming pools, KG outdoor and indoor playgrounds, play areas, libraries, learning resource and media centers, two multi-purpose auditoriums, laboratories for ICT, design/technology and art, music and dance studios - all featuring beautiful design elements inspired by Arabic architecture. 

Each and every detail of both new facilities has been designed with students in mind. Ziad Azzam, Chief Executive Officer Taaleem said: "Our main aim is to create learning environments that are phenomenal and support the latest in pedagogic understanding. We want children to succeed, to become independent and be able to graduate from anywhere in the world."

The International Baccalaureate curriculum addresses the unique learning needs for each stage of a child's intellectual and emotional development.  This spectacular new campus will open in different phases, starting with Pre-K to KG 2 in September 2012, followed by Grade 1 to Grade 8 in September 2013 and higher grades from 2014 onwards.
