Instruction is bilingual (Arabic and English) with technology provision across phases (dedicated computer labs, classroom interactive whiteboards, tablets in primary, and student laptops in secondary) and subject options including design & technology, computing, sciences and the arts. Notable campus facilities and programmes published on the school site include an auditorium, a stadium, a Design & Technology lab, a boarding house for the Scholars programme, a mosque and a modern cafeteria; the Scholars scholarship programme (established with PDO) selects pupils from Grade 6 and includes boarding.
