Victoria International School of Sharjah (VISS) – a school which seeks to be the leading school in the region. The school was established by The Ruler of Sharjah, in conjunction with the State of Victoria, in Australia, to provide students with an excellent all-round education so they can become responsible global citizens as the leaders of tomorrow. At VISS, we are committed to providing each student with powerful, lifelong learning tools in an ever-challenging and personally rewarding environment. Both governments prioritise the learning and growth of all. His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan Bin Mohammed Al-Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah has great admiration for Australian (especially Victoria's) curriculum with its recent extensive enhancements, as well as the methods Australian teachers use to encourage children to learn and the way the State of Victoria designs schools for the 21st century - using flexible learning spaces and the latest technology. He has been pleased to be able to make this available to young people living in the UAE. VISS is to be a lighthouse school for improvements in Sharjah schools.
