When it comes to children's schooling options, only the best should suffice. British schools in the UAE are known for their all-round education conducted by qualified educators, ensuring that students not only develop a solid foundation in academics but also a strong character to climb high in the world.

The British system of education follows the National Curriculum of England, a syllabus that is carefully curated and taught in over 150 countries. The curriculum values transparency, thus giving parents, teachers and students a complete overview of progress at every educational stage. British schools in the UAE cover a broad range of subjects from the major arts, science and humanities subjects to business, language, mathematics and more. Students graduating from a British school build self-confidence and a sense of independence.


One such school offering a holistic approach is Deira International School (DIS). It is dedicated to developing the qualities necessary to become confident, self-motivated and independent individuals. In lessons, the focus is on teaching students to think critically, to explore knowledge, and to approach learning challenges with enthusiasm. The school was also recently awarded the International School Award for the use of digital technology in the classroom.

Proud of its 47-year history and its not-for-profit ethos, Sharjah English School (SES) is a uniquely friendly and community setting, whose strengths are enhanced by having one of the largest school sites in the UAE and impressive modern facilities. With fewer than 850 students across primary and secondary, SES still provides an intimate and individualised teaching.
