Our Signature Programmes

The Sports Stream & Scholarship Programme

At The Indian Academy, Dubai (TIAD), we believe that true education extends far beyond the four walls of a classroom. Our signature programmes are carefully designed to nurture academic brilliance, personal growth, leadership, and future readiness. We don’t just teach—we prepare our students to thrive, lead, and shape a rapidly changing world.

The Rahhal Programme – HIFZ & Sports

The Rahhal Programme reflects our commitment to providing flexible, student-centred learning pathways that nurture both character and talent. Approved by the KHDA, this unique initiative ensures that passion, faith, and talent don’t have to compete with a standard school day.

The HIFZ Stream (Quran Memorisation)

Our structured HIFZ programme allows students to dedicate themselves to memorising the Holy Quran while staying fully on track with their CBSE curriculum.

  • Structured Timetables: Balanced daily schedules ensure academic study and memorisation complement rather than compete with each other.
  • Expert Guidance: Dedicated, qualified instructors provide personalised mentorship to support each student's spiritual and academic growth.

Core Areas of Learning (Grades 1 & 2)

The Rahhal Sports Programme empowers aspiring and elite athletes to pursue high-performance sports without compromising their academic journey. To actively champion young athletic talent, the school proudly awards the Rahhal Sports Scholarship to outstanding student-athletes:

  • Up to 60% Tuition Fee Waiver: Outstanding sporting talents—including international athletes and regional championship winners—are eligible for a significant tuition fee reduction.
  • Complete Academic Flexibility: Scholarship recipients are granted the flexibility to take extended time off to train or travel for tournaments, without the fear of falling behind.
  • Dedicated Learning Support: Our teaching faculty provides personalized catch-up sessions, extra classes, and adjusted assignment deadlines to ensure scholars maintain academic excellence.
  • Nurturing Champions: By removing the financial and scheduling barriers to elite sports, we ensure our athletes can confidently chase their sporting dreams while securing a top-tier education.

STEM Education: Igniting Curiosity & Innovation

Our STEM programme connects theory with real-world applications through hands-on, project-based learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, inspiring innovation and future-ready skills.
