About The Aquila School
The Aquila School opened in September 2018 to serve the growing educational needs of the surrounding communities in Dubailand, and across Dubai. We offer a high-quality and engaging curriculum, enriched to meet the needs of our culturally diverse community. Our curriculum is driven by our children and is tailored to their interests, through topic and project learning, which ensures all of our children are equipped with the necessary tools to make as much progress as possible.

- 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- Is learning support guaranteed for the full enrolment, or can it be withdrawn later?

unknown
Yes. At The Aquila School we have Hemam Learning Support Centre based within the school, offering additional support to children with SEN. At Hemam, they strive to provide autistic children and their parents a chance to experience life-transforming results through treatments and therapies used in our Learning Support Centre. This concept allows children with additional learning needs to gradually integrate into a mainstream school.
We support our children through our learning support team, which includes 5 experienced teachers and a skilled team of LSAs.
