Dubai has rapidly emerged as a leading educational hub, offering a diverse and globally recognized academic environment. With branches of top international universities, state-of-the-art facilities, and a strong emphasis on innovation and research, this unique city attracts students from around the world. Dubai’s strategic location, multicultural society, and government support for education make it an ideal destination for high-quality learning and a therefore a perfect place for our Global Achievers Academy programmes.
Our residential students stay in purpose built student halls of residence at The Myriad. Students will share twin rooms with their own private bathrooms and will have full use of the excellent facilities available at the residence, including the roof top swimming pool, the outdoor cinema, the social spaces and state of the art games room. The Myriad has a dining hall where students will have breakfast and dinner on most days, with lunch being provided at school.
From a view from the top of the Burj Khalifa to exploring Abu Dhabi, here are some of the exciting activities and trips that our Dubai programme offers.
Students explore iconic Dubai landmarks including the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountains, the historic district of Al Fahidi and a cultural visit to the Jumeirah Mosque . Our students spend a thrilling day at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi, one of the most visited theme parks in the UAE. The 10 night programme also includes visits to local malls and of course what visit to Dubai would be complete without a Desert Safari!
In their downtime, students enjoy a lively entertainment schedule featuring social outings, quiz and games nights, movie nights and shopping at the Dubai Hills Mall, all designed to create lasting memories and build lifelong friendships in this iconic city.
Our well-rounded programme also includes several team-building activities and group challenges that foster teamwork and build confidence. The sports sessions that we offer, including football, basketball and volleyball make the most of the facilities at the school as well as at the residence, including access to the swimming pool in both locations to cool off in the desert heat!
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, on Yas Island, offers high-speed rides, family attractions, and the world’s fastest roller coaster.
