About

THE UK SCHOOL

North London Collegiate School (UK) was founded in 1850 by Frances Mary Buss in order to offer an academically ambitious education to girls, similar to that available to their brothers. The School has pioneered women’s education for over 160 years and remains among the highest achieving schools in the UK. Exam results consistently top the UK league tables and the School has repeatedly outperformed other prestigious schools in terms of Oxbridge success rates. The Sutton Trust has rated NLCS as first in the UK for success in placing students at competitive universities and NLCS is one of only two schools to have been twice named by the Sunday Times as ‘Independent School of the Year’, which described it as ‘Possibly the best advertisement for girls-only education in the country’.

THE DUBAI SCHOOL

North London Collegiate School Dubai will offer an academically ambitious education in keeping with the aspirational ethos of NLCS (UK), and the same impressive range of extra-curricular activities, to foster well-rounded individuals who are capable of becoming leaders. The School will be a coeducational ‘diamond structure’ day school for pupils aged 3-18 years, situated within the prestigious Hartland development in Dubai. The School will be built and funded by our partners in the project, a leading Indian property development company, Sobha.

While ensuring academic excellence and intellectual challenge, NLCS Dubai will be equally concerned with supporting the development of the whole person and will aim to inspire confidence, individuality and self-esteem.

NLCS Dubai will be an English-speaking school offering the International Baccalaureate Programme throughout the age range. A number of lessons per week will be devoted to the teaching of the Arabic language, UAE Social Studies and Islamic Education which are compulsory for all students up to the age of 16, although more lessons are required for students of Arabic descent than for others. ...Show less
