Head's Welcome

Welcome to Gulf British Academy (GBA). Set in lovely new premises, GBA is an accredited co-educational international school for Foundation to Year 7 pupils (with plans for further expansion each year).

Parent Information

If you have been searching for an international primary school for your child, with an expanding secondary section, we hope you will consider Gulf British Academy. In September 2020 we welcomed our first Year 7 to the new school. In September 2021, this will be expanded to include Year 8, with an additional year level added every year. In the fullness of time, GBA will offer IGCSE and A-Level examinations. This will enable pupils to apply for the best universities in the world.

Our Curriculum

At Gulf British Academy, we strive to deliver creative and interactive academic programmes. These are based on the new National Curriculum in England and are child-initiated, inquiry based and holistic in approach so that children become confident and independent learners.

"Tomorrow's world is in today's classroom"

This is our philosophy when it comes to your child's experience at Gulf British Academy - to provide a quality education that empowers them now and for future generations.
