Brighton College Dubai is located on an impressive 40,000 square-metre campus.

The brand new campus, designed by Brighton College and their local partners, Bloom Education, offers wonderful facilities, including: large, airy classrooms, incorporating the latest educational technology and stunning art facilities. We also have a range of sporting facilities including a fully equipped gym, indoor and outdoor courts, swimming pool, training football pitch, full sized rugby pitch, and a 400m running track.

The School is led by the Head Master, and the Senior Leadership Team, who manage heads of departments, housemasters/ housemistresses and Year leaders, alongside an enthusiastic and talented team of teachers.

The Times (a UK publication) has consistently ranked Brighton College as one of the top three co-educational schools in England. In 2017, Brighton College was considered "The most forward-thinking school" by The Week, it has had recognition for the Best Leadership Team in Education and CNN called it "a model for the 21st century".

Brighton College considers education within and outside of the normal educational silos, encouraging cross-curricular study. 

Brighton runs a number of programmes such as those considering the current world (fusing geography, politics and economics); the mutual interdependence of sports activity, physics, chemistry and biology; looking at the chronological development of human achievement; and with specific focuses at certain times on entrepreneurship and real life skills.

All members of the Brighton College family of schools collaborate, sharing best practice and taking advantage of innovation – whether generated in the UK, the UAE or elsewhere. Therefore, the education delivered is fresh, exciting, engaging and equips pupils for tomorrow's world.

Recent studies also show that the quality of education delivered to children aged five, directly impacts their IGCSE performance. The high quality of Brighton College's education starts as soon as a child enters the school.

In addition to pupils' academic development, the College invests time in identifying and seeking to develop the individual passions of each child – whether music, drama, dance, sport, academic, green issues, community engagement, etc.

There are no stereotypes in Brighton College. Every child is valued as a unique individual. They are cared for, encouraged and developed so that they can maximise their true potential in a range of fields. This helps them identify what they would like to focus on when they come to the end of their schooling, and ultimately identify careers in due course.

Brighton College Dubai received its first GCSE results in the academic year of 2020/21 and were pleased to award 'Outstanding' grades. In 2021/22 the school once again performed exceptionally well, with it's results ranking in the top 3 schools in Dubai and the top 4 in the UAE (according to Which School Advisor results table), with 72% graded at A*-A / 9-7.

The year 2022/23 will be a hallmark year for Brighton College Dubai, with our first A Level cohort graduating. Our very first A Level result, however, was awarded to Year 12 pupil, Yeldana who scored an impressive A in Russian (not her first language), after taking the exam a whole year early.

Almost all of Brighton’s pupils continue on to higher education, either immediately after the Upper Sixth or following a Gap Year. In the last five years, the most popular universities at Brighton College UK have been Cambridge, Oxford, Bristol, Leeds and Exeter respectively, but our advice is not solely focused on these more academic institutions. We have successfully supported pupils moving on to art foundation courses, music conservatoire degrees and undergraduate courses as varied as fashion design, nursing and marketing. 

We had 31 Oxbridge offers in 2017 and 36 in 2016 – which is four times the average for a private school in the UK.  Currently, 53 former Brighton pupils attend Oxford and 64 are at Cambridge. 

Last year, pupils at Brighton College Abu Dhabi gained places to read Medicine at Harvard and Mathematics at Oxford – thanks to the school achieving the top A-level results among all of Abu Dhabi’s schools.

Over the past five years Brighton College pupils have gone to some of the world's finest universities:

• 85 to Cambridge
• 61 to Oxford
• 61 to Bristol

• 53 to Exeter
• 59 to UCL

We also offer a number of language co-corricular activities, including DELF  (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) (Year 5 & 6) and DELE (Diplomas de Espanol como Lengua Extranjer) (Year 7 & 9), which can lead to a qualification in the respective language and support pupils to sit exams in languages beyond the curriculum on a case-to-case basis.

Naturally, we deliver Arabic for both native speakers and those learning Arabic as an additional language, in line with the Ministry of Education’s guidelines.
