Repton School Dubai is one of the most exciting and leading educational communities in the world. It is a truly international school firmly based in the UAE with a very distinctive British flavour in which, because of its boarding provision, a vibrant multi-cultural learning community is developing. Welcoming families from all nationalities, Repton School in Dubai offers the very best in British education for children aged between 3 and 18, within the context of an international boarding community, and epitomised by the school’s philosophy of ‘the best for every child’. The Repton school is situated on a 1.3million sqft campus in Nad Al Sheba 3, with state-of-the-art facilities and amenities.
Teachers at Repton School are very committed. Many have strong academic backgrounds and routinely go beyond the call of duty in their teaching and reaching out to kids. Instruction is excellent and creative. Students are individually known well by their teachers and are not overlooked. We had seen one of their ads and decided to visit them for a tour. Boy, were we impressed by their campus and student facilities. Both our sons now attend Repton; 2 years apart. So far its been great, we hope the same level of quality persists throughout the higher grades.
(December, 2010)In my opinion, very few schools in Dubai can match Repton. As challenging as it might be, they seem to maintain a profoundly strong balance between academics, athletics and extra-curricular activities for pupils. Their location is quite ideal too, secluded and easy to reach from Emirates and Al Khail Roads. The only drawback are their high fees. Although my company covers education for both my kids, for parents who pay themselves, the cost could be considerably higher than other schools.
(January, 2011)From my experience of a parent of former Repton school student, I would like to express extreme disappointment with the services that the business establishment offers. The school is still in experimental stage. Policies are being changed on an annual basis. There is a funding shortage that affects development of the facilities and educational resources. Lack of professionalism is evident on every level, from the reception and administration desk to teaching and headmaster level. Withdrawal from the school is in exes of 30% year on a year basis. Teaching curriculum is watered down. Teaching staff moral is low and teachers have made it into the local news for it. The school is owned by a private equity, and the owner’s attitude is in support of raising funds, but not academic standards. From a personal perspective, attending Repton for two years was tremendous waste of time for my child and waste of money for our family.

Although Repton may be a bit secluded from all other schools being located right in the middle of Nad Al Sheba, it is however quite ideal for our family. We live at the Villa project and I work at the DIFC, so the school is on my drive to work.
(December, 2010)Right of the bat, I must say they give you an outstanding first impression; the campus, the facilities, the staff and even the academic atmosphere there is superior to most other schools in Dubai, especially the last 2 our kids attended. We have continued to be pleasantly impressed by how caring, involved, and wonderful the staff is at this school. There are so many ways kids learn and develop and I truly feel that the faculty work extra hard at providing many opportunities for the pupils.
