We are proud to announce the official launch of the Climate Kids Academy at Bright Riders School, Dubai — one of our global launch schools and the first international school in the UAE to adopt the programme across the entire student body, from Kindergarten through to Year 12.
This groundbreaking rollout signals a bold, future-focused commitment to equipping students with the knowledge, values, and leadership skills needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Delivered by One Earth Academy International, in collaboration with One Earth Education, the programme will provide a multi-year roadmap for embedding sustainability into the heart of the school’s culture and curriculum.
Bright Riders School will benefit from a comprehensive suite of services designed to support academic excellence, wellbeing, and climate resilience:
âś… KHDA & Ofsted-aligned curriculum enhancement
âś…Â School inspection readiness, backed by measurable data and reporting
âś… CPD-certified teacher training and multi-lingual delivery (Arabic & English)
✅ Student-led action projects aligned with national and global climate goals
Leading with Purpose
We extend our deepest thanks to Director Shivani Shetty and Head Teacher Latika Narain, whose exceptional leadership has made this pioneering initiative possible. Their decision to embed sustainability across every year group represents more than just a curriculum choice, it’s a statement of purpose.
By placing climate literacy, innovation, and student empowerment at the centre of the school’s ethos, Bright Riders is redefining what 21st-century education can and should look like in the region.
A Shared Global Milestone
We were honoured to be joined at the event by Phil Taylor, Deputy Regional Manager of the Welsh Government for the Middle East and North Africa. His presence underscored the significance of this launch not just for the UAE, but for Wales and the UK more broadly.
This partnership highlights the export potential of Welsh-grown educational innovation, while helping to safeguard jobs, stimulate new opportunities, and forge deeper international collaboration between schools, educators, and governments.
Sparking Curiosity Through Innovation
A special thanks also goes to Mr. Jonathan Quinn, entrepreneur and inventor, who led a live Ask-a-Scientist session on climate innovation, sustainable technologies, and entrepreneurship. His engaging talks inspired students and made the day a truly memorable one.
A Message from Our Founder
“This launch marks a defining moment for One Earth Academy International and for climate education in the region. Bright Riders School has set the gold standard for what’s possible when bold leadership meets purposeful learning.”
