Dubai College

Dubai College is a selective co-educational secondary school in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, offering a British curriculum from secondary entry through GCSE/IGCSE and A Level. Founded in 1978, it serves a diverse international community and is widely regarded as one of Dubai’s most academically selective schools. The programme balances examination preparation with enrichment in sport, music, drama, clubs and community service for students typically aged eleven to eighteen.

Teaching follows UK-style subject structures recognised by universities in the UK, UAE and other countries. Entry is competitive and typically includes assessments and interviews. Availability by year group and priority rules can change from year to year, so families should read the current admissions policy carefully and prepare school reports and references as requested. Dubai College operates under UAE private-school regulations applicable in Dubai; review the latest KHDA inspection information alongside school publications when evaluating academic fit and pastoral care.

The campus is in the Al Sufouh area of Dubai — confirm the current street address, gate procedures and visit booking instructions on dubaicollege.org. Fee schedules, application windows, sibling policies and contact emails are published on the official site. UAE school fees, transportation options and residency or visa documentation requirements change. Verify every cost and compliance item with the school before accepting a place, signing contracts or relocating your family. Relocating families should confirm academic calendar alignment with previous schooling, bus routes if required, and how GCSE subject choices affect later A Level options. Bring recent school reports and passport copies to assessment days as instructed.
