Dubai British School Jumeirah Park (DBSJP) is a prominent British school located in Dubai, catering to students ranging from 3 to 18 years old. DBSJP follows the national curriculum of the United Kingdom, and it offers GCSE and A-Level preparation in Years 11 and 13, respectively.

Established in 2015, DBSJP has swiftly become one of the leading British schools in the region. The institution places a strong emphasis on the well-being of its students and the interests of the school community, prioritizing their overall development. The primary goal of DBSJP is to equip each student with academic knowledge and skills while fostering personal and versatile growth to prepare them for their future educational journeys and successful admission to top universities worldwide.

In addition to delivering a high-quality curriculum, DBSJP offers a wide range of extracurricular activities designed to align with students' interests and allow them to explore their talents. Students have the opportunity not only to continue pursuing their hobbies but also to explore new avenues.

The Jumeirah Park campus provides programs for elementary, senior, and high school students. The kindergarten program, known as the Foundation Stage, is housed in proximity to the main campus but has its own dedicated facility.

The DBSJP has several branches:

• Foundation Stage – for children from 3 to 5 years old,
• Key Stage 1-2 – Grades 1-6,
• Key Stage 3-4 – Grades 7-11,
• Key Stage 5 is the Sixth Form program.

The Foundation Stage program is implemented on a separate campus.

The educational institution operates in a full-time format, so it does not provide housing on its territory.

DBSJP supports a healthy and balanced lifestyle for students of all ages. The cafeteria is operated by Leela's Lunches, which offers students a set meal, snacks and drinks, including a three-course hot lunch. Pupils have the option of bringing packed lunches from home, but the DBSJP imposes some bans on the products brought in for the safety of children: nuts, chocolate, yogurt, sweets, pork dishes, chips and sodas.

Sport plays a central role in the life of DBSJP and provides students with the opportunity to develop their physical abilities to the maximum. Students can go in for sports and lead a healthy and active lifestyle, using the established modern infrastructure: a fitness center and gyms, open fields and courts, a swimming pool, and more. Sports matches are held throughout the week, with some events scheduled for the weekend. Throughout the year, DBSJP hosts a number of sporting events and swimming tournaments and achieves success in a wide variety of competitions across Dubai and the UAE.
