School Principal’s Message

Dr. Kerem Karacaer

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

 Much of my career has been spent in schools founded by remarkable, forward-thinking educational elites. I am passionate about students’ education and the important role which schools play in enabling learners to reach their full potential.

Spectrum International School is an exceptional place; it operates as a modern Islamic International school, and we are committed to the development of each and every student. Built on the firm foundation of the 7 pillars of Islamic qualification and Cambridge Education, our vision is to provide a world class education. We are excited about encouraging curiosity, bold ideas, innovation, leadership and delight in learning – inside and outside the classroom.

Superb academic outcomes are the hallmark of Spectrum International education and students regularly secure places at prestigious universities. However, we understand the importance of looking beyond the narrow confines of excellent examination results to define success. Our rich co-curricular programme includes an array of activities and opportunities, ensuring that every student develops their passions and explores new possibilities. These experiences, in turn, help to build the skills, discipline and character that will support their future life.

Ultimately, schools are about people and at the heart of Spectrum’s success is our total commitment to pastoral care. The values of mutual respect, encouragement and trust underpin everything we do; in our happy and close-knit community everyone is known as an individual, friendships flourish, and students enjoy each other’s company, all within the wonderful ecological surroundings.

I look forward to seeing our students who are educated at Spectrum, including my own daughter, will graduate from our school as confident, articulate, independent young people who are able to navigate a competitive, global, technology-driven world successfully but who also have the qualities to make a positive difference through the lives they live. What are these qualities? I believe they are the ability to form meaningful relationships; to display good judgment; to demonstrate courage and integrity; to be emotionally resilient and to have a deep sense of respect for themselves and others, to be able to inspire the generation that follows them in becoming exemplary family and community members illuminating the path to becoming active global citizens.

It is my privilege to be Head of this School and I warmly invite you and your children to come to see what makes Spectrum such a distinctive place to learn and grow.
