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 students 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. Durham School is a learning community that takes great pride in excellent pastoral care designed to ensure students are known as individuals and challenged to develop their talents. At the heart of our pastoral care provision is the Houses system that creates a genuine sense of belonging that roots students to the School.
