Head Master
Brighton College Dubai encompasses a modern 5,750m² campus, thoughtfully designed to provide high-quality learning facilities. Welcoming 1,500 pupils and a dedicated team of 154 staff, the school combines the resources and opportunities of a large international school with a strong sense of community.
Sitting alongside Brighton College Abu Dhabi and Brighton College Al Ain in the Brighton Colleges UAE group, Brighton College Dubai was recognised as the top-performing school group in the UAE for A-level (A*-A) and GCSE (9–8) results, reflecting the commitment to educational excellence and outstanding pupil outcomes.
Nicknamed ‘the city of Gold’ because of its stunning growth from a sleepy port to a global business hub in a mere generation, Dubai is an exciting city in the Arabian Gulf, located at the gateway to Europe, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region.
Dubai’s Lifestyle
The standard of living is high in Dubai, services are efficient, and convenience is a strong feature of the day to day. Lifestyle options are diverse and vibrant, as might be expected in a city with over 200 nationalities living side-by-side.
Safety
Dubai is a leader in world rankings for the lowest crime rate in cities. The city’s calm environment is a renowned feature, providing a haven for family life.
Tax-Free Income
Tax-free salaries, available for all inhabitants of the United Arab Emirates, makes it one of the best locations to build one’s future. An attractive prospect for expats and compelling reason to relocate!
All Year Sun
Bid farewell to the rain and grey, Dubai is sunny all year round. The city’s average temperature hardly drops, and while the summer months are characterised by indoor and air-conditioned terrain, from September to May the comfortable breezy weather allows for all manner of outdoor pursuits, from beach bathing to dune bashing, mountain climbing to exploring market souks.
Low Cost of Petrol
Just a few years ago, fuel was cheaper than bottled water in the oil-rich UAE. While this may no longer be the case, it is still considerably less expensive than elsewhere in the world.
Booming Real Estate
Dubai's real estate industry is thriving. Residents and visitors can easily rent or buy properties that fit their requirements and price range. Whether you choose the glittering, yacht lined location of Marina, the slick, sophisticated streets of Business Bay or the leafy, suburban areas like Remraam and Townsquare, Dubai has it all.
International Dining
For foodies Dubai is a gold-mine, as the city offers an abundance of eateries for all tastes. From indulgent fine dining like the aquarium based ‘Nathan Outlaw at Al Mahara’ in the Burj Al Arab, to authentic street food style of Bu Qtair seafood restaurant, where for a fraction of the price, seafood and fish are cooked fresh from the adjacent market.
Travel
Dubai is the perfect ‘hub’ for travel, offering inexpensive and accessible adventures to much of Asia, Europe and Africa. Its favourable geographical location makes the city one of the best places in the world for tourism. Dubai has multiple daily direct flights to all major UK cities.
Architecture
The Government of Dubai invests huge amounts of money to progress the city’s economy, resulting in a breathtaking city scape from infamous Burj Khalifa, to the ‘most beautiful building in the world’ – the Museum of the Future.
Never a Dull Moment
Dubai is sometimes described as a “playground for adults,” and the range of experiences available here lends credibility to the idea. You can start the morning in a hot air balloon over the desert, enjoy brunch at a luxury hotel, stroll through malls featuring aquariums, ski slopes, set sail on a yacht at sunset, and end the evening at venues for dining, music, and entertainment. An added benefit for teachers is the 2.5-day weekend, with schools closing at 12 noon on Fridays.
