Field Trips and Residentials

We believe in breaking the boundaries of traditional learning by taking our students on excursions and residential trips that broaden their perspectives and deepen their understanding of the world around them. These experiences enhance curriculum learning while maintaining a spirit of adventure.

From exploring Dubai and the UAE’s rich heritage and culture through day trips to ski trips or participating in residential camps focused on leadership, every journey is an opportunity for personal growth and learning. Our students also have the chance to shine on academic stages like Model United Nations and World Scholars, both locally and internationally.

Age Group

All pupils are encouraged to participate widely across academic, art, performance, language, design and sporting activities, all of which are focused around bespoke learning journeys and outcomes.

Competitive Sport And Events

With a focus on developing sporting skills, promoting active lifestyles, and instilling values like sportsmanship and self-discipline, Uptown International School provides top-notch coaching, facilities, and equipment. Our programs cater to all students, from those seeking to enjoy physical activity to those aspiring to reach peak performance levels.
