At Sheikh Zayed school, we believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals who excel in both academic and spiritual realms. That’s why we offer a unique blend of two exceptional curricula. By blending these two curricula, we offer a unique educational experience that:
- Prepares students for academic success in higher education and future careers.
- Instills strong Islamic values and fosters a deep connection to their faith.
- Develops well-rounded individuals who are confident, responsible, and ready to contribute positively to society.

Madrasa Syllabus (Man`haj) by Islamic Curriculum Development Council. (I.C.D.C):
This curriculum has a strong foundation in Islamic values. Our students receive a comprehensive understanding of Islamic teachings, ethics, and practices, fostering strong moral and spiritual development.
It also has a dedicated focus on Arabic language: Through immersive learning, students gain fluency in Arabic, allowing them to connect with the Quran and Islamic scholarship.
We evaluate our learners using two comprehensive exams: IBTIDAI at Grade 6 and MUTAWASIT at Grade 9 which provide milestones for academic progress and ensure mastery of key Islamic knowledge.
