We also work closely with parents, teachers and specialist staff to offer the best support for pupils.

Furthermore, we have two well-being dogs that attend school each day. Our well-being dogs are used for pupils that would benefit from their presence, whether it's helping to train the dogs (encourages confidence in speech as the dogs require clear commands), reading one-on-one to the dogs (encourages confidence in a pressure-free environment), or simply interacting gently with the dog. Our well-being dogs - Ziggy and Marshall - are well loved members of our Kent College Family!

Kent College Dubai unlocks the individual potential in each and every child. We provide performance guidance and pathways that are as unique as the pupils that attend this school. By the time pupils graduate from Kent, they are internationally-minded adults that see themselves as global citizens. They are confident in their opinions, have the courage to stand by their convictions, hold previous generations accountable for their actions, and are confident to be catalysts for change into the future. KCD students know that they hold the future in their hands, and they do not shy away from the weight of this responsibility, because they know that they are equipped with all that’s required for life in an ever-changing world; they are agile, curious, empathetic, open-minded, principled, tenacious and brave.

A special feature of Kent College Dubai is the individual attention given to each pupil. Small classes of no more than 20 pupils, a carefully-developed tutoring system and individualized learning pathways allow each pupil to be him or herself within the school community.
