Cranleigh Abu Dhabi
UAE
Opened in September 2014, Cranleigh Abu Dhabi is the sister school to the prestigious Cranleigh School in Surrey, UK, which was founded in 1865.
The two schools work together closely, sharing the same family-based community ethos and an educational philosophy that focuses on the whole child. This means that alongside academic excellence, there is an emphasis on ensuring students are active beyond the usual timetable, challenging themselves to move out of their comfort zone and achieve beyond their expectations. Whether that is on the sports field or through a performance platform, the intention is that every child finds a niche where he or she can stretch, succeed and shine.
Based in Abu Dhabi’s Cultural District on Saadiyat Island just next to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the school offers a British international curriculum and has over 1,300 pupils from more than 60 nationalities, spanning FS1 to Sixth Form. Cranleigh Abu Dhabi was shortlisted for International School of the Year 2018 in the Tes Independent Schools Awards, voted Top School in Abu Dhabi in SchoolsCompared.com’s UAE Top Schools Awards 2017 (runner up in the UAE) and also named New British International School of the Year 2017 by the BIS Awards.
