Our Team

Cranleigh Abu Dhabi represents a whole new world of opportunity in terms of an outstanding British education in a truly international setting. 

At Cranleigh Abu Dhabi, we provide a stimulating and enriching learning environment for children aged 3 to 18. Our mission is to challenge and inspire each individual by offering a wide range of opportunities inside and outside the classroom. By delivering lessons, activities, and pastoral support with passion, empathy and a sense of fun, our talented and dedicated staff encourage and support our pupils, helping them grow in confidence.

Our beautiful leafy campus on Saadiyat Island is home to exceptional academic, sporting and performance facilities. Staff are united by their love of learning and their belief that getting involved is what grows character.

As we mature, we know the importance of reflecting, reviewing, and looking for ways to improve. It is these attributes of reflection and continuous improvement that we look for and encourage in our staff.
