About Al Diyafah High School
Al Diyafah High School was founded 34 years ago, in September 1982, by Late Mrs. Winnie D’Cunha. It started as a Nursery with only 2 children in a small villa located on Al Diyafah Street, in Dubai. That’s how it got its name. To accommodate the growing numbers, the school moved to a new campus in 2001, where it is presently located.

Questions to ask the school

- What level of English is required for entry, and what EAL/ESL support is provided for a child still learning English?
- Can you support a child with my child's specific need (e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, autism), and have you done so this year? Ask for concrete examples.
- Is there an additional fee for learning support or EAL — and how much per year?
- Is learning support guaranteed for the full enrolment, or can it be withdrawn later?

The ADHS Learning Support Programme is committed to supporting the individual educational needs of all students. Students experiencing difficulties in accessing the curriculum and learning are referred by teachers to the Student Services Team. The counsellor, special educator, teachers & parents together draw up an individual education plan for each student based upon their observations & results of the psycho-educational assessment administered by external professionals. This team ensures that students receive the intervention and accommodations that they need. Student’s participation and performance in weekly and term exams act as indicators of progress. Student progress is also tracked based on their achievement of the ‘I CAN’ targets. The individual educational plan is then reviewed to set new goals. Based on the learning needs of the referred student, in-class and one to one intervention sessions are provided by the counsellor, special educator & LSA. The LSAs work with an individual student or small group of students to provide intervention strategies to be implemented within the classroom. Shadow teacher facility is also permitted.
