KC DUBAI
Kent College Dubai was established through a joint venture between a Dubai-based company, Mir Hashem Khoory, Meydan Estates and Kent College Canterbury. The school is directly managed by Kent College Canterbury, and was set up with the objective of providing the same high-quality education to families in Dubai as that offered by the school in Canterbury, though reflecting the local context and expectations of the UAE.
Kent College Dubai therefore shares the same aims and values as its founding school, Kent College Canterbury. The school’s location next to the development at Meydan South means that we have a close connection with Emirates Airlines, and our relationship with the local community is an important element of our distinctive identity.
