Dubai College is a secondary school in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Established in 1978, it is regarded as a top-ranking British system independent school in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The school caters for students in Years 7 to 13, and is situated in the Al Sufouh area of the city. Students prepare for the British GCSE and A level examinations. It is a non-profit organisation, and is administered by a board of governors, who control all matters of academic and financial policy.
In the 2014 COBIS survey of its member schools, Dubai College had the best examination results of all British School Overseas in the world. As such, Dubai College is regarded as the top British curriculum school within Dubai not only for its examination results but also because of its focus on sporting, creative and philanthropic activities as well. The Headmaster, and the school, is a member of the HMC, COBIS and British Schools of the Middle East.
Dubai College was founded in 1978 under an Amiri decree issued by the late Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum.
Before the school moved to its current location, it was housed in two small villas near Safa Park. Dubai College started its first year with five teachers and twenty two pupils.
