About Our School
An Inspiring Environment for Every Young Learner.
UGARIT INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL was founded on a simple belief: the earliest years of school shape everything that follows. From the Preparatory Stage to Grade 5, we give every child a calm, caring and ambitious place to begin.
Our classrooms balance structure with discovery. Children build secure foundations in reading, writing and mathematics, while being encouraged to ask questions, think for themselves and work together. Learning is delivered through Pearson educational programmes and international learning resources, and we know each pupil by name and by need, so that every child moves forward with confidence.
