Welcome message from the Principal

It is with great pride and genuine pleasure that I welcome you to The Cambridge High School, Abu Dhabi.

At CHS, we provide a high-quality education from FS2 to Year 13, delivering the National Curriculum for England. Our broad offering includes IGCSE, AS Level, A Level, and BTEC qualifications. As one of Abu Dhabi’s longest-established British curriculum schools, we are proud of our strong record of academic achievement and student success.

We are a values-driven community, united by a shared commitment to excellence. As Principal, I am honoured to lead a school where every student is known, valued, and supported to thrive both academically and personally. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to foster a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where students are inspired, challenged, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Our staff are the heart of our school. Fully qualified and passionate about education, they bring expertise, care, and energy to their roles. Their commitment to our shared vision ensures every child experiences a rich, engaging, and supportive learning journey. It is their dedication and belief in each student’s potential that make CHS a truly exceptional place to learn and grow.

At CHS, education goes beyond academic success. We aim to build character, resilience, and a lifelong curiosity preparing students to become confident, thoughtful individuals who can contribute meaningfully to the world.

We deeply value the partnership between school and home. Strong collaboration with parents is key to every child’s success. When educators and families work together, we create a powerful support network that enhances wellbeing, reinforces learning, and strengthens our community. Your involvement, insight, and trust are fundamental to shaping an environment where every child can flourish.

We are proud to blend a rich heritage with forward-thinking innovation. Our curriculum encourages critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration while maintaining the highest academic standards. We also celebrate the diversity and vibrancy of our community and the strong partnerships we maintain with all our stakeholders.

I warmly invite you to explore our school and the wider GEMS Education family—whether through this website or by visiting us in person. Together, we will continue to cultivate a culture where every student feels a true sense of belonging and is encouraged to aim high, work hard, and dream big.
