MANGAF
‘Students achieving their full potential as active thinkers and self-motivated, life-long learners within a supportive environment’
Principal's Welcome
I am very proud to be the Principal of Cambridge English School.
As you explore our website, I hope that you can gain a flavour of what makes our school and the way we educate children so special.
Our school in Mangaf delivers a traditional British education and an outstanding choice to informed parents seeking an education focused on pastoral care and academic excellence. Cambridge English School provides an enormous breadth of opportunity in which children can develop their own individual talents within a very supportive network.
We combine academic excellence with a holistic approach to education to enable our students to reach their full potential in our campus. This is achieved by delivering a rigorous academic programme, suitably adapted for our international student body.
​
We are proud of our strong links with the UK and we share in their tradition of excellence and the core values that they embody. We are fortunate to have been able to draw on their educational expertise and utilise these in our school, incorporating the very best of British independent education.
​
Our outstanding staff are dedicated to delivering a rich curriculum and programme of activities which challenge our pupils to explore ideas for themselves creatively. Throughout the school children are engaged in learning in the classroom, or through musical, artistic, sporting, enterprising or charitable activities. Our school structure focuses on extending small classes with our pastoral care, leadership and intellectual disciplines beyond the traditional education. Our education seeks to instill confidence, opportunity, academic and personal growth.
​
Please do come and visit us and see for yourself. A warm welcome awaits you.
