ISCS Nad Al Sheba
The International School of Creative Science (ISCS) Nad Al Sheba was founded with a deep-seeded passion to create a unique K-13 institution that imparts academic excellence by providing modern curriculum learning, highly attentive tutoring, and superior facilities – all within an unparalleled environment that fosters traditional values and develops well-rounded youth. Since its launch in 2016, the school’s brand has become synonymous with academic brilliance imparted in a faith based environment and the values which underpin the school’s curriculum at ISCS. Supported by its generously equipped facilities, ISCS has become an institution amongst one of the most sought after international curriculum schools in Sharjah, Dubai and the other surrounding Emirates. Additionally the UAE’s Moral Education Programme launched by the UAE government in 2017 fully integrates into the school model, rather than being a standalone subject. ISCS offers the National Curriculum of England & Wales (both Cambridge and Edexcel) combined with the UAE National Curriculum, providing a strong emphasis on Arabic & Islamic Studies. This unique combination ensures academic excellence at all levels as has repeatedly been observed by the outstanding results for IGCSE/GCSE O Levels and GCE A Levels where ISCS secondary students have been ranked among top global achievers in education by Edexcel several years in a row.
