Repton Dubai is a prominent international school in the heart of Dubai, which has recently celebrated its tenth birthday. One of the few genuinely international schools in the Gulf Region, Repton Dubai combines the reputation and academic rigour of the UK curriculum, from infants and junior school up to IGCSE level in Year 11, and then embraces the challenges and opportunities of the International Diploma or IB in the Sixth Form. Set in a stunning campus in Nad Al Sheba, and almost uniquely in Dubai, also offering a dynamic boarding experience, Repton pupils from ages 3-18 benefit from facilities, resources and a classroom and sporting experience, that is the envy of their peers.
Our mission is to promote excellence in every area of a child's and student's life at school, within and outside the classroom.
Alongside the pursuit of academic excellence, Repton Dubai is proud of the outstanding pastoral care provided for all students and proud too of the traditions and core values that underpin all that goes on at the school. Combining the culture, energy and dynamism of the UAE, with the rich heritage and traditions derived from our close partnership with Repton School in the UK, standards and traditions that have stood the test of time, we are determined to remain a world class school and a beacon of excellence where people matter, and the whole Repton community, pupils, staff and parents, work together to develop young people who are confident yet compassionate, courageous and curious.

My son is in year 5 at Repton and we could not be happier! The quality of the teachers is wonderful, the administration is always one step ahead, and my son loves going to school. I look forward to my daughter attending in a few years.

My daughter is in year 5 at Repton School Dubai. We did think about moving to a different school starting the new term in January however we have decided to remain in the same school not just because of the school or the management, but simply because of one man and teacher.Mr Zafar is a French teacher in Junior School and he is simply the best teacher we have ever encountered, he has been simply amazing in every way possible and always goes above and beyond his role to cater for every child's needs.
Indeed, coming from an arabic background and culture, we have tried investing a lot of our time in trying to teach our girls the importance of learning and speaking Arabic, however I must admit we have not succeeded very well in this matter.
Mr Zafar brings with him such a baggage of knowledge and passion for language and really reciprotiates this into his children. In our previous years, we were always under the impression from different educators that our daughter finds school challenging and difficult and she may need extra support over her academic years to make the same progress that any other child would. However, the approach in which Mr Zafar has come has literally made my daughter change. Not only has she learnt to believe in herself and gain confidence, she also is so keen in learning more and reading more!
I was always under the impression that my daughter will struggle in core subjects never would I have believed that she would be striving in all subjects language included!
I really believe such individuals deserve some sort of recognition and their teaching strategies and techniques should be modeled by many others.
