Raha International School

Raha International School Official page for Raha International School GARDENS, a Taaleem IB school. A strong sense of common purpose pervades our learning community.

Choosing the right school to bring out the best in your child is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. At Raha International School (RIS), a member of the Taaleem family of schools, we believe that a successful education is all about inspiration: inspired teaching to drive academic achievement, and responsible adult role modeling to encourage emotional intelligence. RIS is an Int

ernational Baccalaureate World School catering for all grades from EY 1 to Grade 12, offering this internationally acclaimed curriculum respected for its relevance to today’s multicultural and increasingly global society. Our school is a contemporary and dynamic organisation, educating students from over 80 nations who collectively speak 45 mother tongues. Our programmes feature an inquiry approach that aligns student interest with what they learn, thereby enriching their natural curiosity and promoting a love of learning. Those with a good knowledge of the IB understand intuitively that our approach is effective in promoting the development of 21st century skills, which lead to success in life and in the workplace. Our team of internationally experienced, skilled and motivated teachers model the attributes of the Learner Profile and encourage their proliferation within our student body. RIS is accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). RIS was the first school in Abu Dhabi to be fully authorised to offer the International Baccalaureate's Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes.

As we begin a new academic year, we are reminded that every new beginning brings with it an opportunity to learn, grow and look ahead with optimism.

We wish our students, families, teachers and staff a successful year filled with curiosity, ambition and meaningful learning. Together, through strong partnerships between home and school, we look forward to nurturing confident, future-ready learners who remain grounded in their values and identity.

As His Highness reminds us, our children are our true wealth. May this year inspire them to embrace every opportunity, discover new possibilities and continue shaping a brighter tomorrow.

A new year of learning, growing and discovering together has begun, taking shape through the energy and enthusiasm of all our young learners.

Having everyone back has reminded us of the strength of our community, stepping beyond the imaginable while keeping our values close.

From day one at Gardens Campus, we’ve seen curious minds ready to explore, question and discover the world beyond the classroom. We’re excited to see where each tomorrow takes them.

Here’s to a year of growth, connection and endless possibilities.
Welcome back, Gardens community 💚

As we get ready to welcome you back to a new academic year, we celebrated the Emirati Women's Day by asking ourselves what IB learner values do Zayed's daughters in Raha Gardens showcase.

A little glimpse into the beginning of a new journey.

We welcomed our new EY1 families to Raha Gardens for a special morning of discovery, connection and breakfast together. Our youngest learners had the opportunity to explore their classrooms, meet their teachers and begin getting familiar with the spaces where so many exciting moments will unfold.

For parents, it was a chance to experience a little of what a day at Raha Gardens will look and feel like, and for our new students, a gentle first step towards feeling at home.
