Where Does Dubai Rank in Education

Islamic Values

Islamic values are woven into every facet of education. The curriculum includes age-appropriate lessons on Islamic teachings, Quranic stories, and the life of Prophet Muhammad, promoting values like compassion and respect. Children engage in Quranic recitations and learn basic Arabic letters, while designated prayer times instil the importance of Salah. Islamic holidays are celebrated through stories, crafts, and events, fostering cultural identity and inclusivity. Teachers model Islamic values, promoting empathy and understanding among students. This holistic approach nurtures spiritual, moral, and social growth alongside academics, creating a supportive environment for every child's development.
