Located in Al Furjan, Dubai, Arbor School is an independent British curriculum school educating students from Foundation Stage through to Sixth Form. Rated Outstanding in every category by the British Schools Overseas (BSO) inspection framework and winner of the World’s Best School Prize for Environmental Action 2025, Arbor is recognised for its distinctive approach to education, where academic excellence, wellbeing and ecoliteracy are woven throughout school life.

Following the National Curriculum for England, students benefit from a broad and ambitious education that combines strong academic foundations with meaningful real-world learning experiences. Rather than teaching sustainability as a standalone subject, Arbor uses an ecological lens to help students understand the relationships between people, places and systems, encouraging them to think critically and engage thoughtfully with the world around them.

Set within a unique living campus featuring climate-controlled biodomes, productive gardens and specialist learning spaces, Arbor provides opportunities for students to connect classroom learning with practical experience every day. Alongside a broad range of GCSE, A Level, BTEC and Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) pathways, students receive personalised guidance through Arbor’s Futures Programme, preparing them for university and beyond.

Arbor offers a British curriculum from Foundation Stage to Sixth Form, combining academic excellence with sustainability and character development. Students follow GCSE and A Level pathways, supported by expert teachers and a dedicated Futures Counselling Programme for global university preparation. Arbor’s unique ecoliteracy framework and living campus - featuring biodomes and ecolabs - bring learning to life through real-world, hands-on experiences. Graduates achieve strong results and leave as confident, compassionate changemakers ready to thrive in a complex world.

Arbor School offers a vibrant Extra Curricular Activities (ECA) programme that encourages students in Years 2 and above to explore their passions beyond the classroom. From sports, arts and music to technology, sustainability and community initiatives, every learner can discover new interests and develop lifelong skills. Partnering with The Centre for Musical Arts, Arbor also provides instrumental music lessons during the school day, enriching a holistic education that nurtures creativity, confidence, and connection.

Arbor School’s award-winning campus in Al Furjan is a living ecosystem designed to inspire curiosity and care for the natural world. Learning unfolds across living classrooms, a series of biodomes, ecolabs and regenerative gardens that make sustainability a hands-on experience.
Its Biopark and Biofarm offer immersive outdoor learning spaces where students study ecology, biodiversity and sustainable food systems in action. In Secondary, specialist science labs, design studios, art and performance spaces, and a modern Sixth Form centre provide the perfect setting for academic exploration and creative expression.
Every space at Arbor - from the classroom to the gardens - reflects its belief that the environment is the most powerful teacher.
