The British School Al Khubairat is a British curriculum school for children aged from 3 to 18-years-old. It is one of the most established schools in the region, with some of the best facilities, and enjoys an enviable reputation. We seek to develop children who are happy, confident and curious, and who will have the skills and social awareness necessary to help make them independent and valued members of society.The British School Al Khubairat is a not-for profit school administered by a Board of Governors, consisting of parent representatives and nominees of the British Ambassador. Established in 1971 by an Amiri decree from His Highness Sheikh Zayed, the school has gone from strength to strength.Currently on our roll there are nearly 1,800 students of more than 50 nationalities. The secondary school, started in 1999, now has 800 students with a rapidly growing sixth form of nearly 200. High academic standards are achieved throughout. We believe, however, that personal development and growth are just as important and there are numerous opportunities to participate in a wide range of extra-curricular activities and events. Participation of this kind makes a huge contribution to the development of young people and their ability to contribute to the wider community.The school's high standards are also recognised internationally. We are now a member of two of the UK's most prestigious educational associations promoting excellence in education. The Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC) which represents the Heads of some 250 leading independent schools in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, plus a further 60 or so international members; and The Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS), the professional association for Heads and Deputy Heads of the leading 600 independent prep schools in the UK and worldwide.The British School Al Khubairat works together with parents and the community to ensure that each child achieves his or her own maximum potential in an environment which is both safe and stimulating.
