Senior Schools

Senior Schools (Grades 10, 11 and 12)

Separate schools for boys and girls aged 15 to 18 years

The goal of the Senior Schools is to prepare students for entry into further education and subsequently, for the significant career goals they will pursue. These final three years concentrate on developing them as young adults, encouraging them to take up positions of responsibility, providing leadership and management opportunities and expecting them to be role models in school and in the community. When they leave us, Misk Schools graduates will be ready and eager to positively influence, shape and lead whatever situation they find themselves in – locally and globally.

As in all other areas of life at Misk Schools, we continue to deliver a highly personalised programme using the High Performance Learning framework. This ensures each student’s particular ambitions, interests and talents are nurtured and maximised in a manner that best supports entry requirements for their preferred post-18 pathway.

What do students learn in Senior School?

Senior School students follow an international curriculum that is based on global best practices and customised to fit our specific needs. They complete the second year of study for international GCSE examinations in Grade 10 and sit the public examinations in May/June of that academic year.

In Grades 11 and 12 students follow an international A-level pathway. All students also complete the Ministry of Education’s National Identity Subject courses (taught in Arabic).



But this is not all.

Our ambition for Misk Schools graduates is that they leave us as confident, competent 18-year-olds, able to make informed, value-based decisions and to take responsibility for their actions; that they go into the world as accomplished communicators and public speakers, able to connect with, positively influence and inspire those around them.

To that end, leadership and critical thinking skills continue to be woven into all learning, culminating in the prestigious graduate qualification – the Misk Schools Diploma.



Our Diploma has been developed specifically to deliver on our vision and mission and is validated by Cambridge University Press & Assessment.

Personalised to each student, it includes leadership and internship programmes alongside core academic and National Identity Subjects. More information on the Misk Schools Diploma can be found here.
