Durham School - A Rich Heritage
Durham School Dubai is a branch school of Durham School UK and we are privileged to be able to draw upon the knowledge, skills and experience gathered by our mother school over the past 600 years.
Founded in 1414, Durham School is a traditional British boarding school with a modern international community. Situated in the picturesque and historic city of Durham in the north of England, it is a school that encourages pupils to take full advantage of everything a busy, co-educational school has to offer, living life to the full as part of a community in which the individual flourishes.
The Durham Way - Confidence for Life
At Durham School Dubai, ‘Confidence for Life’ underpins everything that we do. We equip our pupils with skills, knowledge and ambition to succeed: we develop their abilities and aptitudes, we guide them through their education at school and prepare them for the challenges of university and life thereafter.
Our reward is to see them grow into the amazingly confident young adults they have become. Our aim at Durham is to celebrate each pupil’s uniqueness and this is only possible if they believe in themselves and are confident of who they are and what they can do, whatever that may be.
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum is distilled from the best of English National Curriculum, leading to IGCSE and A-level examinations.
