Don’t let schooling interfere with education’ said Mark Twain. The focus of Our Own English High School, Abu Dhabi is on creating a learning portal that enables learners to be informed, skilled and compassionate global citizens who value truth, transparency, creativity and collaborative learning.Capacity to learn from others is fundamental to human intelligence. Ideas are not transported ‘readymade’ into students’ minds; instead, new ideas emerge through careful consideration, reasoned analysis and interaction with physical and social worlds.Hence, learning is not private and it isn’t silent. Peers and parents contribute constantly to this process. Teachers, students and parents support this process and our school provides the platform built on learning to know, to do, to live together and to be!Learning for the next century involves much more than acquiring knowledge and understanding phenomena. It requires capacity for ‘reflective judgment’, the ability to apply learning in real life situations and communicate clearly our learning plan set out clear objectives and learning outcomes supported by interesting tools and techniques that enable students learn at their own pace and experience the joy of learning.WELCOME TO OUR OWN WORLD OF LEARNING!!
