We are proud to celebrate our pupils’ outstanding Summer 2025 A-Level results, with A being the most commonly awarded grade, a value-add of almost two-thirds of a grade, and one quarter of pupils receiving A* or A grades in all of their subjects. Driven by pupils’ individual efforts and endeavour, and the inspiration and support of talented teachers, the College achieved 17% of grades at A*, 44% at A*–A grades, and 68% at A*–B. The Class of 2025 has secured 149 offers from Russell Group universities, with seven pupils receiving all five of their offers from these prestigious institutions. Pupils are now preparing to join leading universities such as Imperial College London, University College London, the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), King’s College London, and the University of Manchester, alongside top destinations in the US and around the world, many with scholarships in hand.
Our vision for Brighton College Abu Dhabi is to create an outward-looking school that prioritises emotional well-being and fosters a lifelong love of learning. We strive to build a community where pupils are curious, confident, and kind-considering the needs of their peers, engaging with their local community, and staying mindful of global issues. Our goal is for pupils to be resilient and grateful for the opportunities they have, while teachers ignite their natural curiosity, nurturing a desire to explore and understand the world around them. It is our privilege to have the opportunity to put these key fundamentals of kindness, confidence and curiosity in-place, enabling our pupils to take full advantage.
Our mission is to create the leading 3-18 British-style school in the Gulf by guiding the pupils to become successful adults who are well-educated, tolerant and intellectually curious men and women who are ready to take a full, active and positive role in the life of our country and of our world.
All members of the Brighton College family of schools share the same values and ethos, focusing on three core elements which are curiosity, confidence and kindness. We focus on creating an environment of kindness and inclusivity, where everyone looks out for one another, to enable pupils to flourish personally, academically and spiritually. There are no stereotypes here – there is no Brighton ‘type’. We enjoy admitting all types of individuals – and we strive to turn out pupils who are kind, confident and curious.
At Brighton College Abu Dhabi, we go beyond teaching the curriculum – we ignite pupils' excitement about the world around them. Education is for life, and curiosity forms the foundation of a great education.
We inspire pupils to ask questions, embrace the magic of discovery, collaborate on solutions, and grow into adults who make a meaningful impact. Nurturing this mindset in every pupil is our top priority.
Confidence is essential for pupils to believe in themselves, embrace challenges, and feel comfortable in their own skin.
Whether a pupil is an introvert, an extrovert, or somewhere in between, we inspire them to become the best version of themselves, not a copy of someone else.
We believe that young people who are happy are the ones who thrive. That's why we focus on creating a community where kindness is at the heart of everything we do. By fostering an environment where everyone feels valued for who they truly are, we help ensure that our pupils feel supported and content.
