Brighton College Dubai offers pupils a vibrant and challenging learning environment, and a distinctive British independent school ethos which reflects the values and dynamic culture of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates.
The College is open for pupils from FS1 to Year 10 and will grow organically each year to reach Year 13. Located in Al Barsha South in a purpose-built campus, Brighton College Dubai boasts state-of-the-art facilities and is committed to becoming the leading British curriculum school in the Middle East. With highly experienced and talented Academic and support staff, the School is able to provide an outstanding level of education, just as other Brighton Colleges already do around the world.
Our deeply embedded links with Brighton College UK and its other sister schools in the UAE and beyond will assist us to make good our claim to represent the very best of British education.
We strongly endorse the very best traditions of a British independent school education.
Namely, academic excellence with a wealth of co-curricular opportunities, all underpinned by a deep commitment to the individual needs and enthusiasms of every child. All pupils are valued for their own sake and encouraged to develop their talents to the full, in a community where there are no stereotypes and every achievement, however small, is noticed.
We work very closely with our colleagues and friends at Brighton College in the UK, striking a balance between providing true academic excellence (146 Oxbridge places in the past five years and the majority of pupils moving onto Russell Group universities) alongside a real commitment to an understanding of the impact that kindness has among our community. This provides the basis for an outstanding education demonstrated in our sister schools here in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
Our community is underpinned by a profound belief in the values of curiosity, confidence and kindness. This website provides a flavour of what Brighton College Dubai has to offer, but there is no better way of experiencing this than visiting the school.
Brighton College pupils are encouraged to be first-rate versions of themselves, not second-rate versions of someone else. This is at the core of our school ethos and so we place great emphasis on mutual respect and acceptance. Young people thrive when they are happy. Life at the College is defined by everyone feeling valued for who they uniquely are. We want our pupils to develop their talents to the full, in doing so they are expected to share those talents with a generosity of spirit and an enthusiasm to benefit others. Their success in excelling both in and out of the classroom is driven by our understanding of being a family school with a strong sense of community at our heart.
We provide a caring, supportive and tolerant community in which your son or daughter will thrive and love to learn, in which there are no stereotypes and where every achievement, however small, is noticed. From this we expect our pupils to have a love of learning for its own sake, which will lead them to excel in formal examination settings in later years at school and beyond.

All three children of mine attend the College and have flourished during the last three years. There are a wide range of clubs and activities for them to join and it’s been a pleasure to watch them develop and grow. I also work at the College and utterly love my job supporting our future Brightonians and making a difference to their education.

As a founding family at the school, we have watched our children thrive both academically and through the extra-curricular provision provided by the school over the last five years. We would whole-heartedly recommend. As a member of staff at the school, I have been developed and supported more than I have in any other school I have worked in.
