Dubai College

Dubai College is one of the longest-established British schools in the Middle East. Recently awarded the title of British International School of the Year at the Independent School Awards in London, Dubai College has been synonymous with a tradition of quality in education for the past 42 years.

Academically our examination results are second to none and position the school among the top 5 and top 10 co-educational independent day schools for GCSE and A level results respectively. As a consequence some 52% of our leavers this year are attending the top 1% of universities in the QS World Reputation Rankings.

The school is far more than an academic powerhouse and sport, creativity and philanthropy play just as crucial a role in the broad holistic education on offer. Our U19 Boys Rugby and U19 Girls Netball teams are the top performing teams in the Gulf with both teams regional winners at the 2018 Dubai 7s competition, while our charitable school overseas provides education for 200 young people living below the poverty line in the Jaisithok region of Nepal.

The school’s commitment to drama and art is supported by world-class facilities. Our 900 seat auditorium serves as both theatre and art gallery, while our new Sports, Performing Arts and Community Education centre will soon play host to an additional 100-seat black box drama studio, music practice rooms, a double-decker sports hall, swimming pool and wellness centre.

It is perhaps our educational philosophy which differentiates the College from other schools locally. With a school wide commitment to developing our students’ communication, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration through the implementation of the Harkness philosophy, as well as tactical use of appropriate digital technology and an understanding of the science of learning, Dubai College really has become a world-class centre for innovation in education.
