Jumeirah College
Jumeirah College is a co-educational British secondary school in Al Safa 1, Dubai, just off Al Wasl Road, operated by GEMS Education. It teaches the National Curriculum for England from Year 7 to Year 13 (ages 11 to 18), leading to GCSEs (with some IGCSEs), A Levels and BTEC courses, and its Sixth Form is taught in The Palace, a dedicated centre on an adjacent site. KHDA records its opening year as 2000, and the school marked its 25th anniversary in 2025-26; the British Schools Overseas report of June 2023 says it was founded in 1999, first housed at Jumeirah Primary School, still its main feeder school. KHDA has rated it Outstanding at every inspection since 2010-11, most recently in December 2023, when it had 1,294 students, 118 teachers and 95 students of determination; the largest student group was Indian and the largest teacher group British. Penta International's June 2023 inspection for the UK's British Schools Overseas scheme found that it met the standards, and described the quality of education, students' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, and leadership and management as outstanding. In 2025, 66.3% of its GCSE entries were graded 9-7, with 19.7% at grade 9, and 41% of its A Level grades were A*-A. Classes have at most 25 students in Years 7 to 11 and 16 at A Level. Its home page says it is placed in the top 1% of schools worldwide.
