Safeguarding and Wellbeing at The American School of Creative Science - Nad Al Sheba

ASCS recognizes the importance of our students’ wellbeing to their personal and social development as it underpins their ability to engage in their studies. We recognize that if our students feel safe and happy, they will continue to thrive. The Inclusion, Student Service, and Pastoral Teams reinforce every aspect of school life and ensure that each student, at each stage of school life, has the confidence to contribute and succeed.

Our positive behavior management system with merit points, works alongside our moral education curriculum to instill in our students an understanding and appreciation of knowing themselves, their community, and enhances their ability to take responsibility for their actions. 
 

Your Child Is Safe with Us!

Safeguarding all members of our school community is of the utmost importance.

We will be able to direct you to the relevant individual or department to advise and/or support you.
