Educational Excellence across Two Iconic Campuses

Our impressive Al Thumama Campus houses the Pre-Prep School and is the only facility of its type in the Middle East that caters exclusively for 3–7-year-olds. Facilities include a dedicated library, a central atrium, a STEAM lab, an Edutainment Centre, music and drama classrooms, a sports hall, an outdoor 25-metre pool with learner area, and an innovative outdoor play area.

The Mesaimeer Campus, which caters to Prep and Senior School pupils aged 7-18, was designed by award-winning architects to offer the highest quality facilities and learning environment for older children in the city. These include a state-of-the-art Performing Arts and Media Centre, a 17,000m2 Sports Academy including a double sports hall, swimming pool, dance studio and fitness suite, basketball and tennis courts, an Art and Design Centre and an inspiring STEAM Centre.
