The faculty at Our Own English High School, Sharjah, consists of a team of highly qualified and professional staff who, apart from their academic qualifications, are chosen for their dedication to their profession and proven abilities to create motivational atmospheres that help students achieve their full, all-round potential.
Students interact with their teachers on a one-to-one basis and the school also pursues a very successful Mentor System that is given even greater emphasis in the senior years. Selected teachers assume the role of a mentor and accept responsibility for the academic and extra-curricular performance of a small group of students. Mentors maintain close and direct contact with parents, facilitating regular communication about their child’s welfare.
All teachers at the school participate in ongoing training programmes to ensure that the strategies, methods and resources they use reflect the standards of best practice from around the world.
With computers playing a lead role as a tool of learning in the present day educational setup, the teachers regularly use interactive white boards, trolleys with projector, DVD and VHS players as teaching aids.
The Our Own Toastmasters Club, Sharjah is the only school-based club in the UAE, set up to develop communication and leadership skills among teachers and parents.
