Kent College Dubai – Learner Profile<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

The Kent College Dubai Learner Profile is a set of attributes and values that we encourage our whole school community \u2013 students, staff and parents \u2013 to adopt. Our Learner Profile has been developed in collaboration with pupils and staff and equally reflects the KHDA\u2019s vision for schools to develop 10 Key Character Traits.<\/p>\n

These qualities are firmly embedded in learning and behaviour across our school. Pupils regularly consider the attributes of the Learner Profile and have a genuine understanding of each of the qualities, starting in the Foundation Stage and developing as the children move through the school.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Learner Profile<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

At Kent College Dubai, we believe that being open-minded<\/i> is a firm foundation from which to grow. We articulate<\/i> our thoughts to challenge every detail and use our creative<\/i> minds to overcome obstacles. Our kind<\/i> attitude towards others, and resilient<\/i> approaches to solving problems utilise our resourceful<\/i> nature, and demonstrate a principled<\/i> approach. We believe in nurturing a culture where being reflective<\/i> drives us forward; being ambitious<\/i> helps us exceed expectations, and being courageous<\/i> in our actions enables us to achieve our dreams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
