School Description

Dubai College is so much more than the leading academic school in Dubai, it is a community of excellence at the heart of the city. Our students do have a long track record of excelling academically and this year our GCSE results surpassed all previous records with an impressive 93.8% of students achieving grades 9-7. However, our enviable reputation stems from our consistent and sustained excellence in what we see as the four pillars of the College: sporting, creative, philanthropic as well as academic endeavour. We champion this broader holistic education in the great tradition of the British independent schools which recognize that by producing socially articulate and well-rounded students we are preparing them for their future far better than any exam ever will.

Extra Curricular Activities

Dubai College offers an extensive range of extra-curricular activities, and we currently offer over 200 distinct lunchtime and after school activities each week. Although participation in these activities is not compulsory, it is highly recommended and well over 95% of our students do choose to take on at least one extra-curricular activity each week. These activities are fundamental to our aim of offering a broad, balanced and enriching educational experience. In some cases, what takes place outside of scheduled lesson times plays an essential role in helping students to develop what they have learned in class.

Through engaging with the extra-curricular opportunities, students are likely to develop their skills specific to that activity as well as a range of universal skills which are increasingly relevant:

A sense of community
Teamwork
Ownership
Leadership
Problem solving
Self-management
Responsibility
Commitment
Oracy

These skills play a vital role in generating the positive, nurturing environment that is so important for students to succeed academically as well as in their life beyond Dubai College.
