Jebel Ali is a leading and long established Not for Profit School located in the dynamic city of Dubai. The school was originally established in 1977 as a Primary School but in 2017, on its 40th anniversary, it moved to a fabulous new campus containing state of the art facilities in the Damac Hills area of the city. The new campus contains a Foundation Unit and both Primary and Secondary Schools as well as impressive sports facilities. The Secondary School presently consists of Y7 and Y8 but the intention is to develop it organically, year by year, through to Y13. We broadly follow the English National Curriculum and plan to offer GCSE, ‘A’ and ‘T’ Levels. Presently there are 1,100 students on roll of whom approximately 53% are British with an additional 50 nationalities represented.

The school has an extremely strong reputation and recently received significant publicity generated by a national survey (whichschooladvisor.com) which identified Jebel Ali as the school with the highest positive rating from students, parents and teachers in the cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The 2016 DSIB Inspection Report stated the school “provided a very good quality of education” and students’ attainment and progress in English, Maths and Science were outstanding. Students personal and social development was outstanding across the school”.

We believe in creating a positive, secure and happy community which nurtures risk taking, inquisitive and innovative learners. Crucially we expect our teachers to be as risk taking, inquisitive and innovative as their students. We have a wonderful group of staff who work tremendously hard, as a team, to create the right atmosphere to inspire our young learners both inside and outside of the classroom. All contribute to our extra-curricular programme.

The school is inclusive and accepts a wide ability range with the vast majority of students and parents taking pride in, and fully supporting, the school. Our students leave us with confidence, strong interpersonal skills and with sufficient adaptability, resilience and understanding to be successful in the world of both today and tomorrow.

We have created a warm, family atmosphere where everyone feels valued. Everything that happens here is for the benefit of the students. Equally, though we have a passion for learning, we all attempt to ensure we retain a sensible work - life balance. Tired teachers do not inspire their students!
