How one IB school brought clarity and connection to the heart of school life
At Greenfield International School in Dubai, change doesn’t happen for the sake of it. It’s driven by purpose. As a long-standing IB World School with more than 1,800 students and steady growth on the horizon, Greenfield made a strategic move: to bring everything (communication, learning, and planning) into one connected platform.
The goal was simple: clarity for parents, consistency for staff, and a smarter way to manage school life.
“We were looking for a one-stop shop… a platform where we could share communication, share successes, and record assessment feedback. Schoolbox has definitely delivered that.”
The school began by unifying all official communication through Schoolbox, giving parents one clear place to stay up to date without email overload. The platform’s personalised newsfeed structure made it easier to share the right information with the right families, without adding noise.
“Schoolbox allows us a customisable space where we can share some information with some parents and, and some with others. It really is a bespoke platform, each parent's experience is different depending on the needs of their child.”
From there, the team gradually expanded into learning management, curriculum planning, and assessment. The approach was steady and intentional, and it’s now embedded in the way Greenfield teaches, plans, and communicates.
“The curriculum is fully embedded on Schoolbox. The planning is fully embedded on Schoolbox. It's now routine how we use it and how we plan and how we deliver our lessons.”
Staff are not only confident using the platform, they’re helping shape its future. As Greenfield explores new capabilities like pastoral care, they’re drawing on their own ideas and experience to push things forward.
For Greenfield, this wasn’t just a tech upgrade. It was a smarter, more responsive way to run a school. And it’s a clear reflection of the school’s values: innovative thinking, thoughtful leadership, and a strong commitment to community.
