Founded in 1978, Dubai College is a British overseas coeducational senior school. We are academically selective and not for profit. Through collaboration with teaching staff, our warm and intellectually curious students become independent and passionate self-motivated learners. We place equal emphasis on academic, creative, sporting and philanthropic development and as a result enjoy growing global recognition for the quality of our creative and sporting output, and for the generosity of our student-led charity work. Dubai College students are amazingly bright, busy and caring individuals.
