Repton Dubai is a truly international school firmly based in the UAE with a very distinctive British flavour in which, because of its boarding provision, a vibrant multi-national learning community is developing. There are some sixty three nationalities in the school. Our clear aim and purpose is to provide the best teaching and learning environment in which all our pupils will achieve their very best academically, physically and socially. Our pupils benefit from an English independent school curriculum that incorporates elements of the English National Curriculum but which allows teachers to develop an appropriate curriculum for an independent school in an international environment. We never lose sight, however, of our geographical location and we also offer a comprehensive Arabic and Islamic Studies programme. Pupils study IGCEs and the International Baccalaureate. Boarding is at the heart of Repton and our aim is to provide for all our pupils the sort of caring, stimulating and happy environment which will enable them to grow into self-confident, active and highly successful young citizens of the future. The ethos and culture of the whole school as it grows and matures is linked to the importance we place on boarding. We are proud to be very distinctively different as the only boarding school found in this region. The school is located in Nad Al Sheba, about 15 minutes drive from the downtown area of the city and very close to main arterial routes. The campus is large with state of the art facilities to support all aspects of the curriculum. Teaching staff are housed close to the school in apartment blocks leased by the school. Those not housed in school accommodation are given a housing allowance to enable them to rent elsewhere in the city. Remuneration packages are generous and are tax free. Round trip air tickets and medical insurance are included. Dubai is a multi-cultural, vibrant and exciting place to live and work. The location provides a great opportunity to explore the Arabian Peninsula and beyond. The mountains of Oman are within easy reach whilst the nearby ocean provides diving and sailing.
