It is my pleasure to extend to you a very warm welcome to Brighton College Abu Dhabi. As you will see from this website, ours is a leading school in the Middle East which combines outstanding academic achievement with pastoral care of the highest order. Results at A level and GCSE and results have been consistently outstanding.  As a sister school of Brighton College, the UK’s top co-educational school and UK School of the Decade, we offer our pupils an outstanding, all-through education from 3 – 18. While each has its own individual character, our Pre-Prep, Prep and Senior Schools occupy the same generously proportioned site and enjoy the same excellent facilities, allowing a genuine family feel to our school community.

We believe strongly that all pupils can fulfil their potential when their efforts are valued, shared and celebrated. One of our key aims is to foster intellectual curiosity, promote confident debate and involve pupils in a wide variety of co-curricular activities so that they become rounded and kind human beings who can make a real contribution to society once they leave. We strongly endorse the best traditions of British independent school education and links with Brighton College UK and the other schools in the Brighton family are strong.

Our community is underpinned by a profound belief in the values you will see throughout this website. A real sense of what we do and how vibrant and energetic a community we are will only truly be gained when you visit us. 

I look forward to meeting you soon.
