The British School - Al Khubairat

The British School Al-Khubairat has 1,300 students aged 3-18 and caters for pupils up to Year 13.

The British School Al-Khubairat's over-riding aim is to provide education for English speaking children 'in accordance with the best teaching practices, in order to enable children to qualify for normal subsequent education in the United Kingdom within their own age groups, without disadvantage'. However, as the British School for Abu Dhabi, the school also has a number of other important aims and objectives. These include the recognition of the English National Curriculum, education within an intemational community, suitably sized classes and a broad curriculum offering richness and variety. In order to maintain and enhance the British School Al-Khubairat’s high standards, all classes are taught by fully qualified British trained and experienced teachers and the school is inspected on a three yearly cycle.

All the buildings at the British School Al-Khubairat are fully air-conditioned, light and spacious. The Primary department comprises 34 classrooms with additional central activity areas. There is a modern electronic library, computer suite, two assembly/gymnasium halls, two music rooms, specialists room for French, Arabic and Special Education Needs. A 25-metre swimming pool, grassed sports pitch and three playground areas provide outdoor facilities that complement the academic resources.
