OUT AND ABOUT

At Brighton College Abu Dhabi, we believe that some of the most powerful learning happens beyond the classroom. Our extensive programme of school trips and events is designed to enrich the curriculum, ignite curiosity, and develop essential life skills in pupils from Nursery to Year 13.

We offer a wide range of local and international trips that support academic learning while nurturing independence, resilience, and global awareness. Local excursions include cultural visits to landmarks such as Qasr Al Hosn and The Louvre, as well as hands-on experiences like preparing meals in local restaurants to learn about nutrition. These immersive activities bring learning to life in meaningful and memorable ways.

Our international trips are equally diverse and inspiring. Recent highlights include a cultural and economic exploration of Japan, a ski adventure in Switzerland, International award trekking in Nepal, and a service-focused journey to Kenya. These experiences allow pupils to engage with global cultures, develop empathy, and gain real-world insights into subjects such as economics, environmental science, and the arts.

In addition to these enriching trips, pupils enjoy themed learning days throughout the year, including Global Awareness Day, Pre-Prep Proms, Science Week, Book Week, and Sports Day—events that blend academic challenge with creativity, collaboration, and fun.

Our trips and events programme is underpinned by the values of kindness, curiosity, and confidence. It is a vital part of our holistic approach to education, preparing pupils not only for academic success but for life beyond school.
