Elevate Programme
Welcome to Kent College Dubai’s Elevate programme, a bespoke initiative that recognises and nurtures the extraordinary potential of our students. By meticulously analysing Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT) data and incorporating valuable insights from our dedicated staff, we identify individuals who exemplify exceptional aptitude and talent.
Elevate offers a three-tiered approach to provision, ensuring that our gifted and talented students receive the support and opportunities they need to flourish. The first tier encompasses in-lesson provision, where students experience an enriched and challenging curriculum within their regular classroom settings, promoting academic excellence.
Complementing in-lesson provision, Elevate extends to Extra-Curricular Activities (ECAs) specially curated to further develop and showcase the diverse talents and interests of our students. These activities serve as a platform for exploration and excellence beyond the standard curriculum, fostering a well-rounded educational experience.
For those seeking an even greater challenge, our third tier of provision within Elevate opens doors to competitions, sports tours, and specialised events. This tier is designed to propel students beyond the confines of routine, allowing them to shine on broader platforms and gain valuable experiences that transcend traditional learning.
Elevate at Kent College Dubai is more than just a program; it’s a commitment to unlocking the full potential of our gifted and talented students. Empowering them in academics, creativity, and athletics, Elevate ensures that every student reaches new heights. Join us on this extraordinary journey, where excellence knows no bounds.
Our school has recently joined the NACE (National Association for Able Children in Education) Gifted and Talented Network, a dynamic community committed to advancing educational opportunities for high-ability learners. This collaboration empowers our educators with valuable resources and strategies to foster challenge and engagement in the classroom, ensuring an enriching experience for all students. By aligning with NACE, we are dedicated to enhancing our provision, promoting inclusive excellence, and nurturing the unique potential within every student.
