Philadelphia Private School is a child-focused, learner-centered school. We believe that every child can learn and therefore we aim at gathering accurate data indicating how learners are performing, why they are performing well or not so well, and above all how we can help learners perform at the highest individual levels possible.
At PPS, we diagnose and assess the academic performance of learners and device plans to empower learners to make the right decisions and to take responsibility for their academic achievement and personal growth. We work on removing barriers to learning such as embarrassment, weak skill mastery, and lack of self-confidence in learning. We work on recognizing at first-hand the accomplishments of learners.
At PPS, we recognize and believe that academic excellence is only part of a school's mission. We work on developing and promoting embedded and explicit character education, leadership responsibility, conflict-resolution skills, decision-making and choice-weighing strategies. Accordingly we encourage learners to set improvement goals and become life-long learner.
Dear Parents,
We would like to inform you that the football training will take place every Monday and Wednesday from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. (instead of 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.)
Please note that students who are planning to stay at school waiting for the training session, will be starting their homework under supervision.
Kindly let me know if your child will stay at school before the football training to take care of him. (Email to rania.s@ppsdubai.org)
Please make sure that your child will have an extra snack for the afternoon.
Thank you.
Rania Samrout
