Dubai College… A Tradition
of Quality in Education
Dubai College is located at
Al Sufouh 1 in Dubai.
“Each school is unique, so too is
every child’s educational experience
reflecting as it does their individual
personalities. One thing Dubai
College strives to achieve for every
child is a positive experience of
learning and personal development –
the ‘DC experience’.”
~ Peter Hill, Headmaster, Dubai College
T
he atmosphere at Dubai
College
is
inviting.
The
juxtaposed
elements
of
productivity and the serenity
of the sprawling campus set the
backdrop to an environment that lets
you know that even with the business
of education unfolding at the highest
level, the participants are contented
with their roles.
This is essential to the ‘DC experience’
that Mr Peter Hill, who has been at the
helm of Dubai College for the past
five years, refers to in the introductory
quote. He notes that Dubai College
has always focused on providing
opportunities for students to develop
their talents and to discover new ones.
In order for children to thrive, they
need to be challenged and inspired in the classroom, on the sports field,
on the stage.
The formal and informal curriculum
serves this purpose as students are
equally engaged at the academic
level and personal level through the
extensive extracurricular offerings at
the school.

this year, when a number of their sixth
form students earned places in top
tier universities in the UK and the US.
Headmaster, Mr Peter Hill and Mr
Martin Woolley, Head of Lower School
expound at length on some of the
outstanding programmes at Dubai
College that have led to the school
maintaining a solid reputation as a
trusted institution that continues to
enjoy great results and longevity in the
education sector.
The success of Dubai College is also
reflected in the lower school, which
boasts a number of initiatives that help
to enrich the students’ learning.
“Today, we teachers are very much
facilitators who are supporting, guiding
and encouraging the children’s natural
curiosity and motivation” begins Mr
Woolley.
“At the start of this year we began
with the initiative called ‘Lower School
Colours’ (LSC) which is based on the
8 Dubai College values. These being
academic, philanthropic, the physical
aspects, performance, the creative
side, personal endeavours, cultural
and social awareness.”
