Yesterday, our community came together to celebrate 54 years of the UAE. With traditional dances, music, arts and crafts, falcons, and delicious food, the school was alive with colour, culture, and community. 🇦🇪
Events like this only happen because of the dedication, time, and support of our learners, families, and staff. Thank you for making the day so special.

📍Citizens Entrepreneurship Week 2025
Five days. Real problems. Real solutions.
Last week, Citizens School hosted its inaugural Entrepreneurship Week, where learners went through the entire process of identifying a market need, researching, building solutions, and pitching them.
We aligned the event with Global Entrepreneurship Week — using it as a platform to showcase how our learners practice entrepreneurial thinking every day, not just as a subject, but as a mindset.
To every learner who built, tested, failed, improved, and pitched: we are so incredibly proud of you.
To all staff who facilitated, empowered, and supported: thank you.
This is an example of how entrepreneurship is part of daily school life, helping learners build initiative, resilience, and strong project-based learning skills. 🌱
Stay tuned for more! 🔜
📍 أسبوع ريادة الأعمال في سيتزنز 2025
خمسة أيام. مشكلات حقيقية. حلول حقيقية
شهدت مدرسة سيتزنز الأسبوع الماضي أول أسبوع لريادة الأعمال، حيث مرّ المتعلمون بجميع المراحل بدءًا من البحث عن مجال يمكن تطويره أو ابتكار حل جديد له .والبحث، وبناء الحلول، وصولًا إلى عرضها وتقديمها
وقد جرى تنظيم هذا الحدث بالتزامن مع الأسبوع العالمي لريادة الأعمال — لتسليط الضوء على كيفية ممارسة متعلمينا للتفكير الريادي كل يوم، ليس كمادة دراسية، بل كعقلية ونهج حياة
إلى كل متعلم بنى، وجرب، وأخفق، وطوّر، وقدم فكرته: نحن فخورون بكم جدًا
وإلى كل عضو في الفريق .دعم، ومكّن، ووجّه: شكرًا لكم
هذا الحدث مثال على أن ريادة الأعمال جزء من الحياة اليومية في المدرسة، يساعد المتعلمين على بناء المبادرة، والمرونة، ومهارات التعلم القائم على المشاريع. 🌱

What is entrepreneurship?
It’s not just about business – it’s about building curiosity, resilience, creativity, and confidence. And Entrepreneurship Week at Citizens is proving just how capable young minds can be, when given the space to try, fail, and grow. 🌱

Entrepreneurship isn’t about job titles or business pitches — it’s about mindset, curiosity, and real-world skills.
At Citizens, we don’t teach entrepreneurship as a standalone subject. We shape entrepreneurs through meaningful learning experiences that encourage initiative, resilience, and real-world impact.
Whether it’s identifying opportunities or taking calculated risks, our learners practise entrepreneurial thinking every day — building the confidence and life skills they need to thrive in a fast-changing world.
ريادة الأعمال ليست منصبًا وظيفيًا ولا عرضًا تجاريًا — إنها عقلية وفضول ومهارات واقعية.
في سيتزنز، نحن لا ندرّس ريادة الأعمال كمادة منفصلة، بل نصنع روّاد أعمال من خلال تجارب تعلم هادفة تشجّع على المبادرة، والمرونة، وصناعة تأثير حقيقي.
سواء كان الأمر تحديد الفرص أو اتخاذ المخاطر المحسوبة، يمارس طلابنا التفكير الريادي يوميًا — ليبنوا الثقة والمهارات الحياتية التي يحتاجونها للنجاح في عالم سريع التغير.
