In August 2026, the first international campus of the British Queen Elizabeth's School, which has been operating in the United Kingdom for 450 years, will open in Dubai. This event will be a landmark for both the UAE and the UK.
The opening of the international branch is the first time that an English grammar school has left its homeland. This decision of the country's leadership and Queen Elizabeth's School emphasizes the rapidly growing attractiveness of the UAE among the world's educational centers, confirms the desire of local authorities to attract world-class educational institutions to their cities.
The campus of the new school will be located in Dubai Sports City, where students will have access to modern gyms and playgrounds. At first, the British branch will work only with preschoolers and students from the first to the eighth grades, gradually expanding admission to high school students. The educational process will be based on the British National Curriculum, which guarantees high quality education: the school in Dubai will continue to develop the academic standards of the British center, preserving its inherent traditional values such as discipline, leadership qualities and innovative thinking. However, the main feature will be the adaptation of the educational program to local realities and opportunities for the development of the region.
