New school opens with virtual classes
dubai — Rolling out virtual assemblies and online classes, Pearl Wisdom School, in its first year of operation, has welcomed students via distance learning. “When we opened our school, it was a new experience where teachers and students had to connect virtually. This was a big challenge as none of our teachers has met each other yet. The parent community has been extremely supportive and we have been transparent at all times,” said Sooraj Ramachandran, Vice Chairman of Bhavans.
The CBSE curriculum school has hosted virtual parent-teacher orientation sessions, student council activities, virtual assemblies and online lessons for its founding batch of students.
The school is yet to host students at its new campus in Hor Al Anz, as teachers continue to provide lessons through the school’s distance learning platform. “We are one of the very few schools in the world that have opened during a global pandemic. This is a challenge that we’ve turned into an opportunity,” added Sooraj.
Creating 2,400 additional school seats in Dubai, the school features curated learning spaces that include creative play areas, nature zones and other facilities. The annual fees range from Dh14,500 to Dh16,500.
“We continue to welcome new schools and create more choices for families in Dubai and this is a unique development for us. We are delighted to welcome the Pearl Wisdom School and appreciate their flexibility and willingness to adapt to this unique situation,” said Mohammed Darwish, chief executive officer of permits and compliance sector at Dubai’s Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA).
