Mentoring
At Arcadia, our mentors strive to equip students with lifelong learning skills to ensure their university and career readiness in a rapidly changing job landscape. We aid our students’ mastery of academics and beyond through context-based learning experiences. These opportunities to explore topics of interest within, and outside of school, not only enable our students to make cross-disciplinary connections but also encourage our students to develop a comprehensive knowledge base and skill set applicable to real-world situations.
In addition to our internal mentoring programme and in collaboration with Reach*, a non-profit mentoring organization registered in the DIFC, we have launched Reach Junior, an external mentoring programme dedicated to developing the next generation of leaders and offering school students a structured learning environment designed to enhance people skills and leadership qualities.
The programme provides tailored group mentoring sessions for our students from Year 7 through to Year 13. The first phase assigns each group to two experienced Reach mentors from different generations for a one-year programme. The programme also includes soft skills training sessions delivered by professional coaches.
