Principal’s Welcome

1st Term 2023-2024

Dear Parents and Students of Virginia International Private School (VIPS),

I am delighted to introduce to you our Term 1 newsletter in which you will find details of what students have been studying over the last 15 weeks. The term has seen students engage in a range of activities both in school and further afield, many aimed at raising their awareness of global issues as well as celebrating the uniqueness of life in the United Arab Emirates. We are committed to providing students of all ages with the opportunities to celebrate their culture and traditions whilst ensuring that they are able to apply knowledge and develop skills that will see them succeed in the 21st century. Our values sit at the heart of what we do and will continue to drive us forward to become the very best school we can be.

We will continue to further extend the curriculum to include real-life learning as well as develop the leadership and volunteer opportunities available to students. Providing learners with a rich tapestry of experiences will support them as they grow not only as lifelong learners but also as leaders in their school and in their communities.

My first few weeks at the school have been a steep learning curve, but the welcome I have received from students, parents and staff has been a real positive. VIPS is a special place and I am confident that by working together, we will be able to achieve great things in the coming months and years and I look forward to working with you all.

Assalalmu alaikum and thank you.
