Extracurricular Activities

The Extracurricular System

Dubai British School Mira has built a vibrant after-school life that welcomes students from their earliest years. The youngest children explore something new each week as different educators bring various activities directly to their classrooms, while older students select two weekly sessions from an extensive menu that reflects their interests through three pathways: Active for movement, Creative for artistic expression, and Academic for intellectual pursuits.

Available clubs:

• Billiards games
• Swimming team
• Creative club
• Art masterclass
• World Art Dubai
• Story time
• Book club
• Chevron Readers

Dubai British School Mira’s Approach to Development

The school employs a distinctive “Enjoy, Aspire, Achieve” framework that establishes three progression levels within each discipline. Swimming begins with playful pool games before advancing to technique refinement and culminating in competitive team membership. This structure ensures children can participate regardless of their readiness for competition, building confidence while allowing everyone to savor the experience at their own pace—whether moving from Creative Club through Art Masterclass to World Art Dubai, or progressing from Storytime through Book Club to Chevron Readers.

Additional Opportunities

Beyond complimentary sessions, Dubai British School Mira collaborates with carefully vetted external providers who deliver specialized instruction unavailable in the standard schedule. For families’ convenience, the school operates a late bus following free activities, serving Town Square, Mira, Damac Hills 2, and Cherrywood, though paid sessions ending after 5 PM require families to arrange their own transportation.

Community Philosophy

Dubai British School Mira refreshes its program each term based on input from students and families, culminating in the ECA Showcase celebration. The school positions itself as a genuine community hub by organizing events that bring families together, while charitable initiatives encourage everyone to contribute meaningfully. These experiences help children recognize their capacity to improve the world around them.
