NLCS Dubai brings a unique educational offering to families in the region, combining a rich heritage with academic excellence and inspirational subject teaching. Opening in 2017, our school has rapidly grown and developed, becoming an exciting and vibrant place in which to learn. There is a tangible buzz of activity and energy throughout each day with students able to pursue their interests and passions, guided by our inspirational team of teachers. The diverse sounds echoing throughout the school, from music playing to students talking and laughing, parents chatting and teachers passionately engaging their classes, are wonderful to hear. The warm and open relationships between staff, students and parents provide a genuine sense of community and care. You only have to spend a few hours in the school to appreciate the secure and happy ethos at North London Collegiate School. In a relatively short period of time, the School has built a strong reputation for offering an inspirational and ambitious education for students in Dubai. The International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum and a North London Collegiate School ethos have been skilfully aligned to ensure that the academic experience we offer provides an incredibly enriching and engaging environment for our students. Whether it is in the classroom, on the sports field or in the School’s Performing Arts Centre, we have high expectations and aspirations for all our students. Over the past few years they have certainly responded to this challenge, achieving record success within the MYP and Diploma examinations. In 2023 NLCS Dubai was the top performing IB school in the region with a Diploma average of 37.2 and an MYP average of 49. Many of our students have graduated to top universities around the world and continue the success that is shared by our family of schools. We are very lucky to have a wonderful site with fantastic facilities. However, the most important feature of the School are our teachers. We recruit highly qualified and passionate teachers who can motivate and inspire the students in their care. They love their subjects and make learning irresistible. This, combined with the outstanding pastoral care and focus on the extra-curricular life of the school, continues to ensure that the students enjoy coming to school every day and have every opportunity in fulfilling their potential, whilst being a part of a multicultural and inclusive school. I look forward to meeting many of you who take the next step in coming to visit us and joining our wonderful community.
