Al-rayan International School is dedicated to the upbringing of creative, resilient, independent and socially responsible young people having the knowledge and skills necessary to be active contributors in the global community. Within a caring, multicultural and inclusive environment, the school is committed to instilling in each student a desire to learn, to take appropriate risks in venturing new ideas, to accept personal responsibility, and to face challenges with optimism and determination. It is our task to keep the welfare and wellbeing of our students at the forefront and to provide them with a morally sound learning environment that is respectful of difference.

Al-Rayan International School (ARIS) was established in September 2003. We are a mutually supportive and forward-thinking community. Our mission focuses on providing world class standards in education. The combination of our inclusive (rather than elitist) admissions policy with our internationally orientated curricula is an ideal framework for achieving all-round excellence. Students are supported wherever and whenever support is needed, and at the same time challenged to achieve their maximum potential. For two years we have been fully engaged in implementing and seeking authorization for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP). We have also adopted the Cambridge International curricula for older students, offering an extensive range of IGCSE subjects. In May 2015 we were authorized to offer the full IB Diploma Programme (IBDP), completing the final two years of the students' secondary level education, prior to university. Step by step, as practitioners of the IBDP, we are now realising the enormous potential it has for our students and their future lives.
