VISS welcomes more than 4,000 students for new academic year

This notable growth reflects the confidence placed in the institution by parents, and underscores its rising prominence as a leading educational establishment - one that offers a holistic model combining academic excellence, a nurturing environment, and the cultivation of students’ personal and interpersonal skills.

Victoria International School of Sharjah follows the Victorian (Australia) curriculum from Kindergarten to Grade 10. For Grades 11 and 12, the school offers two academic pathways: the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma and the distinguished American GCD Diploma. These diverse educational tracks provide students with multiple options that prepare them for university and a successful professional life.

Dean Pyrah, CEO of Victoria International Schools Group, emphasised that the continued growth in student enrollment reflects the increasing trust of parents and the community in the school’s ability to deliver high-quality education. He added that it also stands as a testament to the commitment of the school’s teachers and staff to providing an inspiring learning environment that prioritises student well-being and holistic development. The school places strong emphasis on creating a well-rounded educational setting that nurtures students’ personal and social skills through a variety of enrichment activities focused on creativity, teamwork, leadership, and responsibility.

Pyrah added: "During the current academic year, we will launch new educational initiatives that promote digital literacy, enhance environmental awareness, and encourage student leadership - all in line with the school’s vision of nurturing lifelong learners and active global citizens. We will also continue to develop our infrastructure and modern facilities, upgrade our technological systems, and attract qualified educational staff to ensure the delivery of a high-quality learning experience that meets the demands of the future."

Since its establishment in 2007, Victoria International School has been a key milestone in the journey of advanced education, maintaining a distinguished academic reputation. The school remains committed to fostering a creative learning environment, empowering students’ intellectual and physical abilities, and equipping them with the skills needed for a forward-looking educational path.

The school is considered one of the leading institutions dedicated to providing a world-class educational experience, inspired by the Australian curriculum - one of the most advanced and respected systems globally, known for its ability to accommodate and nurture students’ abilities and talents.
