A Truly International Education

Many schools lay claim to being "international" schools. We are different. While your child's physical classroom will be based in Dubai, our Global Classroom initiative will ensure that they are collaborating with other students from our schools around the world. This makes their learning experience uniquely international. 

Academic success

Our students achieve high levels of academic success as well as developing social confidence, respect and a global conscience 

  • 95% of our students met or exceeded the world average IB score.
  •  30% of our IB Diploma students scored 40 or above.
  •  71% of our students achieved grade 9 - 7 in IGCSE with 25% achieving 9.
