Repton School Abu Dhabi

Background

Welcoming families from all nationalities, Repton School Abu Dhabi offers the very best in British education, within the context of an international environment and epitomised by the school’s philosophy of ‘the best for every child’. While excellence is pursued, Repton espouses the notion that every child is important; every child is cherished, nurtured and prized for their individuality. 

What the school says

"We aim to give all our pupils the educational tools to succeed in whatever field they choose to further their path of learning. Through our encouragement of achievement and, equally important, independence of thought as well as action, pupils will develop a sense of personal responsibility and readiness for the demands of a rapidly changing world.

"We are proud of both our 21st-century international nature and of the traditions and core values which have been derived from our partnership with Repton in Derbyshire, England. Repton School’s 450-year history has enabled it to develop a mature and effective school; we are fortunate to have been able to draw on the educational knowledge and expertise from our sister school and thus combine the very best of the new with the very best of the British educational system."

Curriculum

Repton Abu Dhabi follows a British independent school curriculum, which incorporates elements of the English National Curriculum developed for an independent school in an international environment. This includes the Cambridge IGCSE in Years 10 and 11 and A-Levels in Years 12 and 13.

The curriculum at Repton is carefully designed to develop pupils as independent and lifelong learners as well as encouraging a spirit of intellectual curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge. The school develops in its pupils the capacity for independent thought and action, and combine this with rational and responsible decision-making. 

Fees

For the 2023/2024 academic year, fees range from AED 59,150 for Nursery to AED 76,500 for Year 13. These fees are inclusive of registration fees and are payable per term.

From the head teacher

"Welcome to Repton Abu Dhabi! A modern and dynamic school with a traditional family feel. We are building upon a rich and vibrant history spanning over 450 years of educational heritage at Repton Derbyshire, UK. Repton Abu Dhabi offers the rigour of the National Curriculum of the United Kingdom with the dynamism of the UAE and is delivered in our world-class facilities. 

"Distinctive in the DNA of Repton students is their spirit of individualism and their confidence in embracing new challenges. Repton students have an instinctive curiosity, a genuine love of learning, and a resilient ‘never give up’ attitude when facing challenges. 

"The academic progress that our students make has been rated as ‘Outstanding’ by ADEK. Although, we are incredibly proud of our students’ academic achievements, what lies at the heart of a true Reptonian is the progress they make in becoming caring, confident and respectful citizens of the world. 

"With great privilege comes great responsibility; our students appreciate the privilege they have in receiving a Repton education, a great education opens many doors and our students are empowered, encouraged and expected to positively impact their families, their communities and the wider world. 

"I strongly encourage a personal visit to our campus so you and your child can see and feel why a Repton education is so special. 

"I look forward to welcoming you and your family."

– Steve Lupton, Principal
