Welcome and Marhaba to The English College (EC), a British curriculum school in Dubai. We have been providing a world class education since 1992, for children from Foundation Stage 1 through to Year 13.

As a school, we have a particular and very special ethos. Put simply, our core purpose is to inspire confident and passionate learners who will thrive and make a difference during their time with us – a difference to their own lives and the lives of others.

With our BSO (British Schools Overseas) “Outstanding” rating and DSIB (Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau) “Very Good” rating, we are proud to provide an exceptional educational experience. Our outstanding pastoral care, personal and social development ensure that your children are valued as individuals who bring their uniqueness to our family-orientated community school.

We are not just another British curriculum school in Dubai – we are more than a school, we are a community, an experience and a way of life that nurtures excellence in every aspect. Our community is culturally rich and diverse and as a school, we recognise and celebrate this, helping each individual to ‘be the me I choose to be’. Our students are many things but most of all they are themselves. It is this which prepares them for the unknown and exciting life in the world beyond school.

Most importantly, we are a happy school with a great spirit and a sense that anything and everything is possible. It is only by coming to visit us that you will truly be able to get a sense of our positive and thriving learning community. On behalf of the EC community, we look forward to welcoming you and showing you our school in action.
