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.
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.
