We draw on 150 years’ worth of Cranleigh UK experience and have infused it with Middle Eastern culture to create something truly unique to the region. Based on the community and family-oriented ethos of Cranleigh School, we opened Cranleigh Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi in September 2014. We seek to provide a truly transforming British international education for children from FS1 Nursery to Year 13, in which intellectual, artistic, sporting, wellbeing and social development is at the heart. In addition to the broad academic curriculum which puts emphasis on the individual, the daily routine offers a wealth of opportunities which allow students to explore their full range of talents in visual and performing arts, music and sport, as well as across a broad range of co-curricular activities. Our school were rated outstanding across all six performance standards by Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge. We were named New British International School of the Year 2017 in the BIS Awards, and TES International School of the Year 2019. In September 2020 Spear's Global Schools Index, ranked Cranleigh Abu Dhabi in the Top 5 Schools in the Middle East.
