Academics

Crown American Private School teaches American Curriculum for students aged 3 to 18.

Curriculum

Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Crown American Private School adopts a whole-school approach to social and emotional learning (SEL) and treats emotional health as central to daily life. The Wellbeing Policy states that the school prioritizes the emotional health and wellbeing of both students and staff, with a caring, inclusive ethos and a focus on voice and welfare for all members of the community. SEL resources are provided in SEL classrooms, and there is a counseling corner website that supports wellbeing check-ins and access to school counselors. Wellbeing is implemented across online and in-person learning, including virtual meeting rooms and SEL activities in Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams, plus circle-time approaches and wellbeing awareness campaigns. Staff roles include teachers and senior leaders who identify wellbeing concerns and connect students with appropriate support; there are established communication and review processes for wellbeing. Outcomes highlighted include increased student engagement, higher self-esteem, improved behavior and attendance, and active parental involvement in learning.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
The school follows an inclusive model and integrates Students of Determination (SOD) into mainstream classrooms rather than operating as a specialist SEN institution. The Inclusion Policy states that Crown American Private School enrolls students of determination and provides support both within the classroom and in targeted settings such as a resource room for individualized help. The policy defines SEN as needs arising from disabilities or recognized conditions and describes supports including Classroom Support Plans (CSP), Individualized Educational Plans (IEP), Advanced Learning Plans (ALP), Behavior Management Plans (BMP), and Home Programs (HP). Identification and early intervention are continuous processes involving teachers, SENDCO, SEN educators, and external information; plans are reviewed with parents and updated as needed. The Head of Inclusion leads SEN provision, supports mainstream teachers, maintains SOD records, and coordinates with external agencies as required. The school is described as inclusive rather than a dedicated SEN specialist institution.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
The publicly disclosed materials do not describe a dedicated English as an Additional Language (EAL) program, staff, or EAL-specific provisions. Crown American Private School is described as following an American curriculum with English-language instruction, but no separate EAL support details are publicly documented. The school policies page enumerates policies on assessment, health and safety, safeguarding, online safety, and inclusion, but does not contain an EAL policy or explicit EAL staffing information. Accordingly, there is no publicly disclosed, school-specific EAL provision in the available materials.

Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is addressed as part of the Wellbeing Policy, which defines mental health as an integral component of health and outlines a whole-school approach to emotional wellbeing. The policy describes the use of SEL resources in dedicated SEL classrooms and a counseling corner website to facilitate wellbeing check-ins and access to counselors. It also details the staff roles for identifying mental health concerns and the categories of warning signs, with procedures for intervention and support. The policy emphasizes that wellbeing outcomes include higher engagement, improved self-esteem, better behavior and attendance, and a supportive environment for staff as well as students.

Safeguarding
Crown American Private School operates a Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy (AY 2025/2026) led by the designated Child Protection Officer (DCPO). The policy confirms compliance with UAE law, including Wadeema's Law (Federal Law No. 3 of 2016) and Ministerial Resolution No. 659 of 2020, to protect students from abuse, neglect, or exploitation. It sets out immediate reporting channels to the DCPO and, when required, to competent authorities via the Ministry of Education and the official Child Protection Helpline (80085). Disclosures are treated confidentially, records are kept securely, and staff are trained to handle safeguarding issues and escalate as necessary. The policy also outlines an intervention and follow-up plan to support the student within the school and in coordination with authorities.
