Brighton College Al Ain has received one of the most distinguished global awards in international education, being named British International School of the Year at the Independent Schools of the Year Awards 2025.
Distinguishing itself as a true leader in education, Brighton College Al Ain is also the only school in the city to be rated ‘Outstanding’ across every category by both ADEK (Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge) and BSO (British Schools Overseas) - a testament to its enduring pursuit of excellence and its standing as a beacon of educational distinction.
Curiosity, confidence and, perhaps most importantly of all, kindness. We strive to instill these values in everything we do. It is through these shared values that our wonderfully diverse community is bound together.
As a sister school to the UK School of the Decade, we are proud of our long and illustrious British independent school heritage. Yet our own character is unique, blending the very best of British with the deep and profound heritage, history and visionary aspiration of the UAE. Our pupils follow the UK curriculum, enriched by and adapted to our local context. Our boys and girls achieve results in examinations that compare with the best schools globally and go on to secure university places at the best universities and most competitive courses in the world.
Beyond the academics, we find the interests and passions of every individual, recognising that our pupils must be nurtured to be the best version of themselves rather than a poor version of somebody else. That is why we place so much emphasis on life beyond the classroom, from sports to performing arts, leadership opportunities to charitable events. Our children have opportunities that will prepare them to take their rightful place in their communities as leaders, capable of effecting change for the good of others, as a central part of society, rather than apart from it.
You are warmly invited to explore our website and, even better, visit us to see for yourselves our stunning campus and community.
