At SES we acknowledge that it is our responsibility to educate the whole child and that academic success, while important, is only part of what we aim for our students to achieve.
It is our goal to develop students who can think for themselves, are socially confident and responsible and above all, successful learners.
The Sharjah English School Learner Profile is based on both recent academic research about cognitive performance and on the vision and values of the UAE and our school community. It consists of the attributes and characteristics of the 21st century learner, which we aim to instil in our students and which are interwoven throughout our curriculum and integral to the imaginative learning opportunities we provide.
