ADEK Inspection Reports
The Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) commission a team of international inspectors to visit every private school in Abu Dhabi Emirate. Inspections cover all areas of the college and findings are summarised and categorised into areas which describe where the college is excelling and where improvements may be required.
We are delighted that, Brighton College Al Ain, has been rated ‘Outstanding’ in all six performance measures by the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge in three consecutive inspections since opening in 2013.
