Assessments

We remove the pressure of summative assessment to allow our students to develop their learning, understanding and enjoyment of each subject. Formative assessment grades are built through coursework, projects and class tests.

Extra – Curricular Activities. (Personalised enrichment programme)

At Diyafah International School LLC, we understand that not all skills can be learned in the classroom. We believe that students need to be challenged to learn new skills and develop their talents and interests.  We encourage all our students to participate in our programme of after school activities. We work with local providers and clubs, as well as using our talented staff, to offer a wide range of activities.

Co - curricular Activities (Mondays 3pm – 4:30 pm)

Co-curricular activities are an integral part of our students’ holistic education. Through the after-school activities students discover their interests and talents while developing values and competences that will prepare them for a rapidly changing world. Co-curricular activities also promote friendships amongst students from diverse backgrounds as they learn, play and grow together. Participation in co-curricular activities fosters social integration and deepens students sense of belonging, commitment and a sense of responsibility to school, community and nation.

We also recognize the importance of supporting the ‘My Identity’ programme initiated by the UAE Government facilitating co-curricular activities with links to the theme of ‘My Language is My Identity’. Diyafah International School provides a range on internal co-curricular activities, as well as hosting external provider activities such as football, robotics and ballet.
