Repton School in Dubai

The Repton School is a prominent international school in the heart of Dubai. One of the few genuinely international schools in the Gulf Region, Repton combines the reputation and academic rigour of the UK curriculum. Repton’s philosophy of developing the whole child, through academic, creative and sporting arenas are further enhanced with the stunning campus in Nad Al Sheba. Repton pupils from ages 3-18 benefit from facilities, classroom resources and a sporting experience that is the envy of their peers. A Repton education enables our students to leave school with a series of core traditional British values and character traits that will enable them to thrive as adults; courageous and curious, well mannered and responsible and determined to make a positive difference to those around them.

Knowledge and Human Development Authority

The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) is responsible for the growth and quality of private education in Dubai. The KHDA supports schools, universities, parents, students, educators, investors and government partners to create a high quality education sector focused on happiness and wellbeing.

KHDA's current priorities focus on increasing the number of expatriate and Emirati students attending high-quality schools, and to integrate wellbeing into the concepts and processes that define education in Dubai. It works with its local education community as well as international partners to promote positive education within all schools and universities in Dubai. KHDA believes the purpose of education is to prepare students for the tests of life, not just a life of tests. Positive education practices promote essential life skills and personal attributes alongside academic achievement. Qualities such as resilience, creativity, optimism, collaboration and empathy are recognized as essential for students to have in order to lead meaningful lives that will enable them to flourish.
