| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
Founded in Scotland in 1934 by Kurt Hahn, Gordonstoun has shaped some of the world's most remarkable people; not just through what it teaches, but through who it asks students to become. In 2027, for the first time in the Gulf, that education arrives in Abu Dhabi. Gordonstoun Jubail Island is not a copy of Scotland. It is a new chapter, written in this landscape, shaped by the best of two traditions. Character development. Academic excellence. A home in the UAE – for every student, from day one. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
Students will be positively challenged in unique ways. Activities and challenges are designed in every year group, to stretch the individual’s comfort zone – so they build resilience and strength that will last a lifetime. Academic excellence is uncompromised. GCSEs and A Levels prepare students for the world's best universities. But the graduates of Gordonstoun Jubail Island will carry something beyond qualifications: the certainty that they know who they are, and the confidence to work with others to build a better community. |
