Unlock your creative Genius...

"Among the few things more expensive than education these days is the lack of it".
Being a successful learner is no longer a matter of choice or more preference. It is a necessity inorder to survive and thrive in the "information age". The future belongs to learners. As we are constantly told by the various media, we live in a time of rapid change. And the pace of that change is faster than at any other time in human history. Every year, 20% to 30% of what we learned and understood about our world is obsolete.
Today and in the future, it is mind power that will dominate. Wealth and jobs are no longer in the land or physical commodities. Knowledge is wealth. Knowledge is where the careers and security are. So, gentlemen, teaching yourself how to learn is the most valuable skill you can learn today.

MESSAGE TO SENIORS

You have all begun what will be your last year of high school and being a senior comes with responsibilities. To those grades below you, you must serve as an example of what is right, what is expected of a student in the ATHS family. With only four periods a week of English you must remain focused, be on time, and come prepared to work. Not only that, you need to spend time at home working on your skills. You are seniors and we expect you to work independently when needed. At some point through the year, request letters of recommendation from at least one teacher. Follow up with your teachers this year and let them know you need their letters of support as a part of your college applications. Also take advantage of your career counselor, as we also need you to communicate with us and keep us updated on your plans and progress. If you do so, ATHS has many means of support and assistance for its students. Take advantage of it! Lastly, take this time in your life to look back on the past and forward to the future. It is a great time in a young man’s life and we all wish you best in your upcoming and final year at ATHS Dubai.

WELCOME BACK

Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.”

Let's begin the new academic year 2011-2012 with  our motto: "We're here to make a difference".
