Welcome to Horizon English School
Horizon English School is a British curriculum primary school nestled in the heart of Jumeirah. Established in 1989, we’ve been inspiring young minds for over 35 years.
Our community ethos and our unconditional focus on wellbeing and child happiness have earned us the trust of our parents and staff since our doors opened. We offer the National Curriculum of England for children aged 3 to 11 years (FS1–Year 6), delivered by expert British-trained teachers in an environment where every child is supported to thrive.
Nurturing futures, expanding horizons
At Horizon English School, our guiding principle is the ever-expanding horizon, symbolizing our pursuit of educational success. Our mission focuses on three pivotal areas: nurturing a flourishing school environment where the well-being and happiness of pupils and adults alike lay the foundation for academic success; continuously enhancing an evolving curriculum to ensure relevance and effectiveness; and cultivating a sense of community, where enrolling a child translates to welcoming a family into our supportive network.
This comprehensive approach reflects our aim to not only teach but also inspire, provide a nurturing space, and consistently strive for improvement, ensuring that every step we take leads to a brighter, more inclusive future.
A Seamless Pathway from Primary to Senior School
Horizon English School now offers a through-school pathway, giving your child a smooth transition from primary education to senior school as part of the Horizon family. When Horizon English School Town Square opens in August 2027, students will benefit from priority placement at the new senior school, building on the strong academic foundations and nurturing environment established at Horizon, and moving forward with confidence and continuity.
