2025 marks a significant milestone for Arcadia British School as it celebrates its 10-year anniversary this November. To mark the special occasion, ABS’ senior leadership also hosted a parents' breakfast morning on 14 November 2025, which included the sealing of a 25-year time capsule in the secondary campus, featuring artefacts created by teachers and students.
Arcadia was awarded a Very Good rating (the second highest available) by the KHDA's DSIB inspectors on their second inspection in March 2023. To have achieved this level so early in its inspection history is exceptional. The overall Very Good rating was again awarded in the 2023-24 inspection round, with an Outstanding rating for Inclusion.
The school is highly regarded by parents also. Comments made in 2025 include the following:
"Very good community feeling, well being in students given more importance. Quick response from teachers and management. Considering the opinions and feedback of parents for improvement if any. Discipline and strict rules with development of individuality amongst students, Happy school, Sports being motivated more and various options to explore!!"
"We’ve been part of the Arcadia community for seven years, and it truly feels like an extended family. Both of my children love it there. The teachers, coaches, and support make each child feel seen and heard, which means a lot to me. Arcadia stands for strong values that deeply align with our own family values, such as altruism, integrity, dedication, and respect. I also really appreciate the Junior MBA program. It’s amazing to see my daughters learning such practical, real-world skills that they’ll carry with them into the future. As a very sports-oriented family, we also love the school’s emphasis on developing true athletes across multiple sports. I always feel confident recommending Arcadia to other families."
The school is led by Executive Principal, Giles Pruett, who joined Arcadia in July 2020 as it began its expansion of the Secondary section. Mr. Pruett came from GEMS Education, where he had been Head of Secondary at IB curriculum GEMS World Academy, and Vice-Principal at Outstanding-rated UK curriculum GEMS Jumeirah College. Mr. Pruett's own three children are among the students at Arcadia.
In November 2022, Arcadia announced a further crucial leadership appointment of Mr. Michael Strachan, from August 2023, as the Head of Secondary. With the school's first cohort of I/GCSE students due to take their exams in 2024, and the subsequent expansion to Sixth Form, Arcadia clearly felt the need for a strong Secondary School leader. Mr. Strachan joined Arcadia from Repton School Dubai where he was Head of Science Faculty, before being appointed Deputy Head Academic. He has a Masters of Education from the University of Bath and has completed his National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH). Mr. Strachan has been particularly active in leading professional development for both new and experienced teachers in Dubai and a number of other international locations.
With the growth of the Secondary school, facilities have been expanded with student break out spaces. A further senior appointment was made in August 2024 with the announcement of the arrival of Mr. Alex Gray as Head of Sixth Form. With experience of both the IB curriculum from his role as Second in Science at Emirates International School Meadows, Mr. Gray's most recent position was as Head of Science at DSIB Outstanding-rated UK curriculum Dubai British School Emirates Hills. Mr. Gray told WhichSchoolAdvisor.com that the school's focus for its Sixth Form students is not solely on results, but also on the added-value that the school can offer to students as they move towards university.
At the outset, Arcadia focused on the quality of its teachers. The school had over 800 applicants for the positions in the school. Interest was in part driven by generous packages with accommodation, and a strong emphasis on Continuous Professional Development. Arcadia has clearly recognised the need to attract - and then retain - good teachers, an area that will be an increasing challenge for all schools in the coming years. Staff turnover, at 5% in 2022, was well below the UAE average of 20-22% - a positive sign in terms of ongoing stability and commitment.
Overall student numbers have now reached 1,100 across the school. Although originally planned for four form entry, various modifications have been made to this arrangement as the capacity of the growing school was able to accommodate more classes in year groups where demand was high. Whilst FS1 offers four forms and FS2 five, due to their popularity, in 2023-24, the school added a fifth 'booster' class in years 3, 4, 5 and 6 to accommodate extra numbers. The Secondary school has six form entry to in Years 7 to 10, and by the 2023-24 academic year, accommodated over 350 students aged 11 to 14 years. These figures have since grown to 155 places in Year 7, and a further 150 students per year group can be accommodated across Years 8, 9, 10 and 11.
Arcadia British School has some 80 nationalities of children (up from 20 in its opening year). Approximately 25% of the children are British, leaving 75% coming from a diverse range of 79 other nations including the USA, Russia, Ukraine, Canada and South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. This creates what the school calls a "Global School in a British environment".
The total capacity of the school once fully open to Year 13 (opening in 2025-26) is 1,750. A small cohort of 28 students (80% of the Year 11 cohort) joined Year 12 to form the first Sixth Form cohort in August 2024. This figure is expected to grow to 35-40 students in 2025-26.
The split of children between boys and girls is pretty even, with an upper ceiling of 24 children per class, who are supported by a teacher and a teaching assistant. Average class sizes are around 20 children. At the time of the DSIB inspection in February 2024, the school employed 98 teachers, the vast majority from the UK and Ireland, with a small contingent from Canada, and a further 66 teaching assistants. The teacher to student ratio at the school of 1:11 ensures that children receive personalised learning and support.
Investment continues to take place in every area of the school, including in staff development, whereby teachers have at least two training and development courses per term and are invited to team building events every term.
Arcadia British School lives by its values of Altruism, Respect, Compassion, Aspiration, Determination, Integrity and Adventure, developing these characteristics through the content of the English National Curriculum with a concentration on the core subjects of Mathematics, English and Science, alongside seven focus areas:
• academic attainment
• sport
• performing arts
• digital innovation
• adventurous activities
• entrepreneurship
• STREAM (Science, Technology, Robotics, Engineering, arts and Mathematics).
The school follows the Prep School model of Extra-curricular activities and homework being supervised in school through an extended day. School finishes at 2pm for FS and 4pm for Year 1 upwards. Arcadia also provides options for FS1 or FS2 children to remain in school until 4pm to support working parents. No homework is taken home in the Primary school.
The extended school days on Monday to Thursday also provide the opportunity to integrate ASAs (After School Activities) into the school day. Students are offered the chance to engage in a wide range of activities to help them develop their lifelong learning skills through the ASPIRE (Secondary) and QUEST (Primary) programmes.
The philosophy of the school is to provide students with as many and as broad a range of opportunities from Years 3 to 8, and then to narrow the options and to specialise from Year 9 onwards. They are encouraged to participate in activities such as MUN, Debating, Oracy, Poetry and International Competitions.
As part of the provision, Arcadia expressly seeks to identify students with gifts and talents. Students are pulled out of regular classes on a rotational basis from music and sports activities (where they are supported and expected to be involved in first class sports). Students from Year 2 are identified as 'exceptional learners'.
These activities are included within the school fees, allowing for squads and clubs for sport, physical education, dance and performing arts between 4 and 5pm. Students have access to LAMDA coaching and examinations from Year 3, with 90% of 40 students achieving Distinction in their examinations in 2023.
The school has subject specialists for Art, IT, PE, Music, Arabic and Islamic Studies, Social Studies, Spanish, and French. Students from Year 5 and 6 and throughout the Secondary school have access to these specialist teachers. In addition, as part of the extra-curricular programme, Year 6 and 7 students have access to the Food Technology lab in the Secondary section as a four week ECA option.
Arcadia offers 'enriched learning' running in harmony with the National Curriculum for England, including two additional sports and one additional non-sport subject. Recent curriculum additions have included Computer Science and Food Technology, as well as BTEC Level 1 subjects including Physical Education and Business. In addition to the main language provision, Arcadia also offers Mother Tongue languages, including French, German, Hindi, Italian, Russian and Spanish.
Arcadia has entered into a partnership with the Sands Centre for Entrepreneurial Leadership, which offers a bespoke Junior MBA programme for Years 7 – 10 and is a launch pad for the Sixth Form. The programme features Social Entrepreneurship, Business, New Media, Coding, Engineering, Communication, and Collaboration - all based within real learning contexts with positive benefits for the local and wider community.
Students in the Secondary School have a particular focus on Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Outdoor Education. They work towards IGCSE and GCSE examinations in Year 11, followed by AS, A Level and a range of vocational BTEC options for Sixth Form. The first cohort of students to take their IGCSE and GCSE examinations completed their exams in June 2024, to be followed by A Levels in September 2026.
Arcadia's newly designed STREAM programme helps to underpin high quality teaching and learning across the school. Partnership programmes with organisations such as Bildits and Atlab begin in Year 1 with a term of dedicated learning within the timetable for every primary student.
The focus of the programme is to develop creative problem-solving skills in order to solve global and local issues, providing students with 'out of the seat', immersive and hands on practical experiences linked to the curriculum.
As students transition to Key Stage 3 in the Secondary school, they are supported by two fulltime counsellors who not only support them in their transition to Year 7, but also collaborate with them as they consider their IGCSE options in Year 9 and their A Level and/or BTEC options in Year 11. This unique support results from the direct experience of Arcadia CEO, Dr. Navin Valrani.
With the opening of the Sixth Form in August 2024, the first cohort of Year 12 students has a range of options for post-16 studies. In the first year, A Level subjects include Art & Design, Biology, Business, Chemistry, Computer Science, Drama, Design & Technology, Economics, English Literature, French, Geography, History, Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Music, Physics, Psychology and Spanish. Two BTEC Level 3 qualifications in Information Technology and Sports and Exercise Science are currently available with plans to introduce Business and Travel & Tourism for 2025-26. Longer term, Arcadia plans to introduce Engineering and E-Sports.
As part of the Arcadia Baccalaureate programme, Sixth Form students will also have the opportunity to participate in a range of enrichment activities across Academics, Sports and Performing arts, together with a range of character develop activities which are designed to support their growth and self-development towards independence. Half-termly blocks will focus on Financial Literacy, Social and Emotional Well-being, and Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Character and Citizenship. Recent enrichment options have included a six week course in Mandarin and 101 Cookery classes.
Sixth Form students are also encouraged to focus on their health, fitness and wellbeing through sponsorship of their entry to the Duke of Edinburgh Silver International Award. They are supported in their university application process by three full-time counsellors, each with experience of different geographical areas including the USA, UK and Europe.
A strong focus of the school is on IT. Arcadia follows the UK curriculum for technology and is an Apple School. Every child has an iPad and coding/programming is taught from FS1. Technology is used within the classrooms and in the open-plan IT suite, which is part of the large communal IT resource and Library area on the first floor of the school.
The iPads are used like library books with teachers sharing photos, videos, activities and work undertaken by the children with parents via a video feed to which parents log in. The aim is to ensure that there are no surprises for parents about what is happening in school – they can view this in real-time.
However, there is not solely an emphasis on technology. Arcadia British School intends to be a centre of Excellence for the 'Collins reading scheme' programme which is used widely for literacy.
Research has shown that through a process of imitation, through dance, song, acting and then a process of drawing and finally writing, children learn to visualise what they want to say and are able to produce much more complex and detailed written material as a result. Essentially, their imaginations prepare the story before they come to write it, and it is more complete and detailed as a result.
The literacy work is reinforced by two modern libraries with comfortable seating and lounge areas, the Oxbridge Study area – aimed at more traditional study – and an array of thematic books chosen to stimulate reading across a variety of genres.
Enrichment activities have been further enhanced after the opening of the Secondary School campus with the addition of a climbing wall (accessible from the entrance hall for students from Year 3 upwards), an Olympic 25m swimming pool, full-size 4G astroturf pitch, roof court and fitness centres. This has given rise to a significant growth in school sport, with games afternoons being part of the programme for students from Years 3 to 11.
Students are encouraged to compete for entry to events such as the World School Games and British Schools of the Middle East competitions, which are supported with possible scholarship opportunities whilst encouraging students to develop their skills.
Over 100 teams entered the DASSA leagues, and focus sports have also given rise to a number of post-school academies in football, rugby 7s, cricket and basketball for boys, netball and football for girls, and swimming an athletics for both. Arcadia offers the Duke of Edinburgh International Award for students in Year 10 and above, with overnight excursions and trekking opportunities.
With the growth of the Secondary school into exam classes, Arcadia has developed a strong career counselling and internship programme with a dedicated team of professionals leading this process. Annual internship opportunities are available for students from Year 8 and above, dovetailing with their own career week in Dubai during the Spring break, where visiting speakers are invited as part of the ALL skills sessions, Junior MBA programme and the detailed university application process.
Close to 10% of students received support as English Language Learners. To support its nationality mix the school has an experienced 'English as an additional language' department, giving Arcadia School the ability to welcome children with varying levels of ability in the English language. Approximately 30% of students have English as a Second language with a further 10% of students being English Language learners.
117 students had additional learning needs and were being supported by a specialist SEN team at the time of the school's DSIB inspection visit in 2024.
Arcadia was awarded an Outstanding judgement for the provision and outcomes for Students of Determination - the highest possible rating and one held by only a small number of Dubai schools. The school's Creative Avenues Programme is designed to support students with a personalised curriculum and learning programme for those with SEN requirements, and Exceptional Learners (those with learning talents, in academia, the arts, music, social enterprise, business and sport).
The school has one Inclusion champion, three Inclusion teachers, two pupil counsellors and 10 Learning Support Assistants. If intermittent help is required for a student, then it is provided free of charge. If the child needs a full time Learning Support Assistant Arcadia School supports the parent in finding one, but full costs are borne by the parent.
In November 2020, Arcadia announced the inauguration of the Aspire Hub, in collaboration with Neuropedia. The Aspire Hub, said by the school to be the first of its kind in the private education landscape of Dubai, is an integrated facility which specialises in speech, language and occupational therapy. It includes state-of-the-art facilities catering for a broad range of needs by highly qualified team members.
Arcadia was found to offer a 'highly inclusive' environment with focus at the most senior level of the school, and also gained the highest endorsement for its Wellbeing and National Agenda delivery during the inspection.
The DSIB inspection team judged the quality of wellbeing provision and outcomes at Arcadia British School to be Very Good, noting that senior leaders prioritise the wellbeing of the whole school community through the school’s “Happiness First” vision and strategic leadership. Wellbeing is embedded in policy and practice, with clear roles and responsibilities for staff and students and wellbeing indicators included in lesson observations. Leaders gather and analyse feedback from stakeholders to identify and act on areas for improvement, adapting policies and routines in response to students’ suggestions. Open communication and timely, purposeful support for students and families were highlighted as strengths, and staff expressed high levels of satisfaction with the security and wellbeing support provided. Staff training has positively influenced students’ wellbeing in lessons, especially in the early years.
The school’s own wellbeing policy emphasises that emotional health, safety and a culture where “every child matters” are central to its mission, with wellbeing embedded in decision-making and supported by a clear structure of pastoral leadership and counsellors. Arcadia’s published approach highlights a commitment to building resilience, self-advocacy and positive relationships, with named wellbeing leads and counsellors supporting students across phases. Younger students benefit from programmes like Zones of Regulation and older students have access to a digital platform for wellbeing support, while highly positive classroom environments and peer support further enhance overall wellbeing. As a next step, inspectors recommended completing comprehensive curriculum mapping to clearly show what wellbeing provision is taught and when across the school.
Arcadia British School is actually much larger than it initially appears, with two buildings separating the Primary and Secondary sections. It certainly does not lack in staff, resources or facilities for primary age children. It also has a very dedicated team of staff who seem to really cherish the boutique style and ethos of the school.
Primary classrooms are located around the exterior three sides of the building. All are light and bright, facing into the central courtyard areas which are set out with appropriate play equipment. The play areas on the ground floor are carefully arranged to be shaded and to create corridors where a fresh breeze can travel.
The school prides itself of being "warm, friendly, and community-oriented". The Secondary School is located on a plot of 140,000 square feet (over double the size of the original school building) and has built up area of 264,000 square feet, 70% larger than the original school. Two additional sporting facilities include a 3,500 square feet Swimming Pool and a football pitch of some 58,879 square feet. The school also features a Dining Hall for communal eating, a library designed to accommodate a range of study areas and an indoor sports hall set up to offer a range of sports activities.
The environment of Secondary building is described as 'Ultra-modern' and offers attractive and efficient spaces which have been designed for the ease of use of portable technology. There are open, light and transparent areas throughout the school which complement the modern classrooms which are designed to be modular and flexible. Special features of the classrooms include variable height furniture, based on research that suggests that children learn better in a flexibly furnished space (think reading a book on the floor at home or perched on stool as opposed to the formal structure of a chair at a table), and interactive projection facilities onto classroom walls.
In addition to the regular facilities of the school, additional investment has recently been made to include UV lights and an air purification system in order to ensure the highest levels of safety and health.
With the opening of the Sixth Form in August 2024, a large area at the top of the Secondary building has been transformed into a specialist centre for the oldest students. This features a common room with pool table, kitchen area and outdoor terrace overlooking the school sports pitch for socialising as well a quiet learning, study and library area at one end. At the other end of the floor, specialist support is available including a specialist counsellor to guide students in relation to the university and other tertiary options. A Business/IT hub encourages students to experience the world beyond the school walls. Sixth form students are permitted to wear smart business attire rather than the school uniform.
In May-June 2024, Arcadia British School had its first cohort of I/GCSE students enter for these public examinations. An understandably relatively small cohort of 18 students were entered for a total of 194 examinations. 22% of entries were awarded Grade 9, whilst 35% of entries achieved an A* (Grades 9-8). 48% of exam entries achieved A*-A (Grades 9-7), whilst 71% were awarded A*-B (Grades 9-6). 92% of entries received A*-C grades (Grades 9 to 4). Overall, 94% of students achieved a minimum of 5 passes including English and Maths.
For the 2024-25 academic year, the first cohort of students sat their AS Levels. The examination outcomes were not shared for this small group of students, but Arcadia did share its I/GCSE results for its second cohort of students. 35 students (a 100 percent growth compared with 2024) were entered for 261 examinations. 18% of entries were awarded a Grade 9 at GCSE, whilst 34% of entries achieved A* (Grades 9-8), and 55% were awarded A*-A (Grades 9-7). 74% of entries received A*-B (Grades 9-6), and 95% of all entries were awarded a pass grade of A*-C (Grades 9-4). 100 percent of students achieved a minimum of 5 A*-C grades including English and Maths.
Arcadia School benchmarks students' progress against the GL assessment system which is the preferred KHDA tool for measurement of achievement. The GL assessment expectation for Years 2 to 6, is that 60% of students should meet or exceed the expected level of attainment in their standardised tests in English, Mathematics and Science.
Data provided by Arcadia British School shows that students at all levels from Year 1 to Year 6 are working considerably above the GL expectations.
| Year Group | English | Mathematics | Science |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 2 | 96 | 94 | N/A |
| Year 3 | 95 | 86 | 100 |
| Year 4 | 80 | 86 | 93 |
| Year 5 | 96 | 88 | 89 |
| Year 6 | 96 | 88 | 88 |
| Year 1* | 90 | 94 | N/A |
* Year 1 student percentages are average attainment data.
Arcadia British School received its first KHDA/DSIB inspection in March 2019 and was rated Good - the minimum rating that the KHDA aims for all school in the emirate to achieve. It has also commonly been the case for a new school, entering its first inspection round, that this is the highest likely outcome if the school is operating at a level the KHDA would expect. Due to the cancellation of inspections as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, no inspection was carried out in the 2019-20 academic year.
However, in March 2022, the Senior section of the school (consisting of Years 7, 8 and 9) underwent a separate DSIB inspection, aimed, we assume, at enabling the school to continue with the opening of Year 10 in August 2022, facilitating the growth of the school to Year 13. The Secondary section similarly achieved a Good rating.
And in March 2023, a full inspection of both sections of the school took place, when Arcadia was awarded an overall Very Good rating. This is the second highest rating available from the KHDA, and to have achieved this on only the second full inspection of the school is a real feat.
A year later, in February 2024, the school underwent its third inspection, where it was again awarded a Very Good rating.
The latest report shows continued improvements with Student Achievement in English, Maths and Science now being rated at least Very Good for progress and attainment, and with both measures for Maths in the Primary school section, and for progress in the Secondary school section, being rated Outstanding. Islamic Education is now rated Good across the school, whilst Arabic as a first language in the Primary section, and Arabic as a second language in both Primary and Secondary were rated Acceptable for attainment and Good for progress. If there is one area of weakness (and it is the only measure so rated throughout the inspection report), this is for Arabic as a first language attainment in the Secondary section. This will clearly need to be a focus for the current academic year.
Teaching and Assessment and the Curriculum, the two key performance standards that most directly impact Student Achievement, were also rated Very Good across the school. The two measures for Students' personal and social development were rated Outstanding with the exception of the Secondary school in respect of social development, where it was rated Very Good.
The protection, care, guidance and support of students was rated Outstanding across the school, as was the relationship between the school, parents and the community.
The DSIB inspectors identified the strengths of Arcadia British School as: Dedicated leaders committed governors and engaged parents, all of whom contribute significantly to the schools’ ethos and success. Students’ exceptionally positive attitudes, behaviour and relationships, as well as their understanding of Emirati culture and environmental sustainability. The health, care, support and safety promoted by the school. The school’s commitment to inclusion and wellbeing, which are embedded across the school, ensuring that all students thrive and achieve.
In terms of areas of improvement, the inspection team identified that the school should: Improve attainment and progress in Islamic Education and Arabic by focusing on the quality of teaching and learning, raising the level of challenge and ensuring that assessment is more accurate. Improve self-evaluation and development planning by making sure that practices are rigorous and systematic, leading to precise evaluative statements.
Following the hiatus in school inspections during the pandemic, and in common with a number of UK curriculum schools in the city who wanted to ensure that an inspection did take place for quality assurance purposes, Arcadia was also inspected by a team representing British Schools Overseas. Inspectors follow the inspection process carried out by the UK Department of Education's inspection teams and measure the school under inspection by strict UK standards. Arcadia achieved a Good rating, one of four possible ratings and the second highest, with achievement of this level across all key performance standards.
Where areas for improvement were identified, Arcadia was advised to: Continue to strengthen the school’s robust safeguarding practices and protocols by developing a dedicated policy that guides all adult users in the acceptable use of digital technologies within the context of best safeguarding practice. Improve the quality, reliability and usefulness of assessment information by ensuring that the assessment of pupils achieving above UK expectations (higher level) accurately reflects their achievements. Improve pupils’ progress in science by:- ensuring that all pupils have the opportunity to engage in practical activities using real materials- increasing the level of challenge, particularly for those in the primary phase and for more-able pupils across the school.
WhichSchoolAdvisor.com as received a particularly high number of responses (close 160) to our School Survey for the Arcadia British School with an overall rating of 3.7/5 or a positivity rating of 74%, based on feedback from close to 180 parents.
Parents are very positive about their children's enjoyment of school and their sense of belonging, the academic performance of the school (84% were satisfied, although 27% felt that external tuition was necessary, compared with a UAE average of 30%), their confidence the school's ability to meet their children's needs, and communication.
83% of parents were extremely confident (41%) or quite confident (42%) of the school's ability to meet their students' individual learning needs. 83% of parents feel that the school has improved their child's confidence either a great deal (51%) or quite a lot (32%).
90% of respondents would unreservedly recommend the school to other parents, with the remaining 10% equally split between being unsure or disagreeing. Even school fees - often the biggest niggle - appear to represent good value for money to the majority of parents with 66% agreeing that they do represent value for money - well above the UAE average of 52%. Only 5% of respondents disagreed with this statement.
Arcadia models itself as being Premium Plus school in terms of staff and facilities, but with mid-tier plus pricing. KHDA approved fees run from AED 66,133 in FS to AED 94,000 in Year 12. Approved fees for Year 13 (opening in 2025-26) are AED 90,000.
Reduced fees (varying mainly between 10 and 15% on the approved fees) range from AED 49,600 for FS1 (a 25% discount), AED 56,213 for FS2, rising to AED 64,644 in Year 1 to AED 68, 447 for Years 3 to 6. Year 7 fees are AED 72,891 rising to AED 63,000 (a 30% discount) for Year 12. Discounted fees for Year 13 have not yet been published, but we would expect them to be in line with Year 12.
Arcadia British Schools offers a range of scholarships to Secondary students with discounts of up to 50% or fee matching options for students who move from other schools. The Toppers Scholarship provides up to 100% fee remission. The scholarships are awarded to talented students across for Sport and Performing Arts and for students joining Year 12 (Sixth Form).
Sibling discounts of 5% for the first child and 10% for subsequent siblings apply throughout the student's time at the school.
There is an application fee of AED 525, and a registration fee of AED 4,000 on offer of a place. The latter is offset against the first term's fees. Both payments are non-refundable.
In Dubai, where big is increasingly seen to be best among school developers, Arcadia British School is certainly worth seeking out for an exception to that rule and a school that proves (relatively) small really can be quite beautiful. The separation of the two buildings gives an impression of a smaller scale than is, in fact, the reality. The development of the Secondary school now assures that parents have the option of offering their children a through-school experience, albeit split across two neighbouring, but highly resourced, campuses.
Our own experience of Arcadia, from Mr. Valrani, across the leadership and its teachers, is one of a team that is absolutely devoted to ensuring the very best of educational practice for all of their students - a singular commitment that is very visible.
And as a further sign of this commitment, a second school - Arcadia Global School - opened in August 2023. Located in Al Furjan, the younger school offers an affordable option for families to experience the approach of the Valrani family and their highly skilled staff.
