Abir Khatoun
Dean of Student – Elementary School (Grades 2–5)
Ignite School
With over 20 years in education, I’ve had the joy of supporting young learners from early childhood through elementary school. Since moving to Dubai in 2004, I’ve grown from a Grade 1 homeroom teacher to my current role as Elementary Dean of Students.
I hold a PGCE from the University of Nottingham and a BA in English Literature with a Teaching Diploma from Lebanese University. I’m also a licensed School Leader in the UAE, specializing in Middle Leadership and Academic Affairs.
Creating inclusive, supportive environments where every child can thrive is at the heart of my work. Outside of school, I enjoy reading both educational research and fiction thrillers—and I love spending time with my family, who also share my passion for education.
