Mission

Brighton College aims to become one of the leading British-style 3 to 18 schools in the Middle East. We aim to create a family-orientated, tolerant and vibrant community which will impart or provide:

a love of learning for its own sake;

a foundation of knowledge and body of skills with which to understand and question the world we live in and to prepare us, through an innovative approach to education, for the world we are likely to inhabit in the future;

an awareness of, and appreciation of, the spiritual dimension in our lives;

an enthusiasm for the world beyond the classroom - in particular, sport, music and the performing arts;

Respect for difference in others and a recognition that the efforts and achievements of every individual in our community are valued equally.

In short, we will strive to turn out well-educated, tolerant and intellectually curious men and women who are ready to take a full, active and positive role in the life of the UAE and of our world.

Description

Brighton College opened in September 2013 in the city of Al Ain in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the Garden City of the United Arab Emirates. It is the second of Brighton College’s sister schools in the UAE and is housed in a purpose-built, iconic 28-acre campus located one hour from the cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Brighton College boasts state-of-the-art facilities and is committed to becoming one of the leading schools in the Middle East.

The Junior School will open in 2013 for pupils aged 3-9, to be followed by the Boys’ and Girls’ Schools for pupils aged 10-18. By 2017, the College will educate 1,200 pupils across the 3-18 age range, offering a British-style curriculum leading to GCSE and A-Level studies. The aims and ethos of Brighton College Al Ain will reflect those of Brighton College UK, one of England’s leading schools and Sunday Times Independent School of the Year 2011-12.
