Brighton College Dubai is committed to an inclusive approach, ensuring that every pupil, regardless of their individual learning profile, has every opportunity to be truly independent and choose their own path. All pupils are supported through carefully tailored programmes of study, advice and support when needed, and the recruitment of expert teachers and senior leaders.
