The founder of the school, Sir John Port was a Member of Parliament and knighted by King Edward VI. John Port was an enlightened and generous benefactor who provided for the formation of Repton School, by a considerate legacy. Little did he know that his generosity would provide a world class education for generations of students, and lead to the formation of a \u2018family\u2019 of international schools, including Repton Dubai founded in 2007. The Chairman and founder of Repton Dubai, Mr Khaled Al Mheiri, wanted to found a world class school in his home country, the UAE, based on the Repton UK model, and he is following in the proud footsteps of Sir John Port.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nRepton Dubai cherishes its close links to Repton UK and has embraced many of the same values and identity. These include the Repton Arch giving the school the same distinctive entrance, and the adoption of the House system throughout the school, with students and staff passionately supporting membership of their particular house community. The inter-house rivalry and competition is one of the most marked and special aspects of Repton Dubai.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nRising out of the sands of Nad Al Sheba, the turrets and towers of the stunning campus remind the visitor of JK Rowling\u2019s Hogwarts, where, like Harry Potter, each student is fiercely proud of belonging to their House.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nFinally, and almost uniquely in the Gulf, Repton Dubai builds on the tradition and heritage of Repton UK with two boarding houses, one for the boys and one for the girls, at the heart of the school. This boarding community, provides pastoral care and \u2018 a home from home\u2019 that is unrivaled in the GCC.<\/p>\n                        <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"col-lg-4 col-md-4   \"><div class=\"component single-img\"><div class=\"ratio ratio-4x3 callout-img halfcol--img image_overlay_2920\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/me.cognita.network\/dovecote-v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/10\/Khaled-Almheiri-Chairman-1-1.webp);\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"component single-img\"><div class=\"ratio ratio-4x3 callout-img halfcol--img image_overlay_2175\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/me.cognita.network\/dovecote-v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/08\/40_OUR_HISTORY_HERITAGE-2-1.webp);\"><\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n             <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<\/section>\n            <\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column]\n    <section  style='background-color:#f4f2ed;' class=\"section  light-color section--white    \" ><div class=\"container-fluid \"><div class=\"row   \"><div class=\" col-lg-6 col-md-6   \" ><div class=\"component link\"><\/div><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"col-lg-6 col-md-6   \">  <div class=\"component title\">\n                                                    <p class=\"body-small\">Our Vision<\/p>\n                                                <\/div><div class=\"component mb-1 mt-0  radius-bottom-LR \" style='px'><div class=\"sub-heading component\"><h2  class=\"h6  \">A Flourishing School, An Evolving Curriculum, Serving Our Community<\/h2><\/div>\n                        <div class=\"sub-heading component \">\n                        <p class=\"body-medium\">We strive to nurture independent learners and critical thinkers, with the skills to form lasting relationships with others and the ability to manage themselves in any situation. While academic excellence is at the core of our teaching program (Horizon English School results rank us in the top 0.5% of schools in the UK and we were recently recognized as being one of the top 25 schools in the UAE), we are not an exams factory and our emphasis is on the well-rounded child, with the strength and self-belief to make mistakes and then to learn from them. Music, sport, art and design, performance, all have an integral part to play in our curriculum and we strongly believe that every child has something to offer.<\/p>\n                        <\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n             <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<\/section>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=&#8221;mb-0&#8243;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;
