We offer a framework of opportunities and support that meets each Student’s unique needs, built on a foundation of core values.
We take care of our faculty members, so that they can take care of your children. To instill a positive, healthy work environment, LISF makes sure to recruit staff members who have the right skills, qualifications, experience and understanding.
At Liwa International School Falaj Hazza, we believe that children perform better when they have a system that is supportive, motivating and positive.
We believe that rewards can drive intrinsic motivation and a healthy competitive spirit amongst students.
Below are some of the most innovative methods to drive motivation:
These methods further boost student morale with special mentions in school newsletters, online editorial, school blogs/podcasts or local newspapers.
Apart from creating a robust, dynamic environment filled with knowledge and activities, we also prioritize health and awareness for various medical issues.
Since its inception, LISF’s goal has been to facilitate medical care and attention to staff members, faculty and students.
To fulfill this objective, we have collaborated with various medical hospitals and enterprises to provide us with appropriate medical staff, instruments such as vaccinations, bandages, medical kits etc., to eliminate all inhibitions.
LISF reserves the right to permit or deny entry access to anyone other than the staff, students, and parents within the school premises.
The following directives pertaining to the cultural codes are as follows:
The school has developed a Counseling & Development Program that supports teaching and learning by ensuring that all students achieve academic success and develop life skills through the acquisition of academic, career, and personal/social competencies, which will prepare them for university/college level study, and eventually for meaningful participation in a diverse, changing world.
Moreover, the school provides seminars and trips to career fairs and universities to acquaint students with career opportunities so that they can make a good choice of the type of higher education they choose to pursue.
As the number of students increased steadily over the past five years, the school has assigned five counsellors, namely three School Deputies (School Deputy for Academics, School Deputy for Student Affairs and School Deputy for the Junior School), and three Social Workers in order to provide comprehensive school counselling programs that incorporate prevention and intervention activities through school-wide assemblies and activities, classroom guidance lessons, intentional guidance groups, individual counselling, and collaboration with outside community resources. These counsellors also assist students in ensuring they meet high school graduation requirements.(Refer to School Deputy Log).
Liwa International School – Falaj Hazza has developed a system of processes to communicate the policies and strategies related to guidance and resources services to meet student needs. Proper access to such information is ensured through different means.
(a) Promote the personal, social, academic and career development of students through implementing the Personal growth education and related guidance activities.
(b) Enhance learning abilities of students through promoting various study strategies and activities.
(c) Give advice on the areas of personal, social, academic and career development of students through participation in cross-curricular planning.
The Student Leadership Committee is part of the Pastoral Care program. The nominees nominate themselves, prepare their speeches and their program and present them to students. All students from 5-12 participate in the election. The university career counsellor meets the Student Leadership Committee (SLC) bi-weekly to discuss various projects that have different goals, offering opportunities for extra-curricular activities, leadership skills and voluntary chances.
Our Student Leadership Committee (SLC) has been part of many events and activities such as:

The elective process takes place from grade 5 to 12, where all students participate to elect representatives from their classes.
