Our Team

At Belvedere International School, Al Ain, our outstanding team of teaching and support staff set each child on their journey to develop the skills of lifelong learning and enable all of our students to realise their full potential.

Our staff are from all over the world and we pride ourselves on our diverse and globally-minded staff body who approach life at Belvedere with smiles on their faces and a positive mindset throughout the academic year. 

We ensure our students are central to their learning and that they share in our high expectations of them. We look to our students to be critical thinkers, problem solvers and solution finders. We also love to celebrate our children’s achievements and we believe in celebrating success in whatever form that may take in school life.

We would love you to come and visit as soon as you can. We would love to show you around our school and hope that you join us in our educational journey.
