Scholars Indian School Al Seer works towards a robust and discerning future for the students. To support this vision, SIS School Ras Al Khaimah has designed various clubs and societies that promote critical-thinking and collaboration efforts amongst students.

Activities offered under various clubs assist students in familiarising themselves with the competencies of the 21st century. Your child can be part of the following clubs:

Apart from these clubs, children have the opportunity to become a part of the Community and Personality Development (CPD) and Project Workgroup. Here, they can participate in quizzes, recitations, arts, dramatics, debates, storytelling and music.

Initiatives like Scholar’s Radio, Scholar’s School Magazine and the Thursday Club allow students to polish their talent.

According to the guidelines drawn by the Ministry of Health, Scholars Indian School runs a medical clinic from 07:40 am to 02:00 pm. The medical team includes a medical officer and a school nurse.

The medical centre is well-equipped to carry out emergency and first-aid treatment in case of injuries or accidents. However, if the injury is critical, your child will be transported to Sheikh Saqr Hospital through an ambulance.

In addition to this, a yearly general physical examination is conducted, the results of which are maintained by the school nurse for future references. As per the school policy, all new students and students in Grade 5, Grade 9 and Grade 12 have to go under a comprehensive medical examination.

Since means of communication for the nurse or the doctor is telephone or email, parents are requested to provide correct contact information at the time of admission. This allows the medical staff to establish contact quickly.

If you need to discuss any query related to your ward with the medical team, you can always approach them through call, email or meet them at the campus.

 Scholars Indian School in Ras Al Khaimah believes that education is a shared responsibility of parents, the school and the community. Eliminating any element would prevent students from achieving their highest potential. Hence, an initiative by the name of Parents Council is designed by SIS Al Seer.

The council is responsible for bringing parents together. You can voice your opinion and suggestions while being a part of your child’s academic journey. Besides this, teachers and the school staff assist parents in understanding the individual’s needs and how they can be catered to after school at home.

Parents Council is beneficial for both parents and the school. Parents act as ambassadors for Indian Scholars Private School. The existing parents often speak and act on behalf of the school to new or potential parents. Apart from this, you can volunteer in school events and fundraising campaigns.

You can also create an account on the Scholars Indian School parent portal. By signing here, you will have access to information regarding your child and various school events. Parents can view their ward’s results, attendance records and much more.

Nevertheless, you can also approach the school via traditional methods. Scholars Indian School contact details are provided below and social media links.
