Giving Dubai families the chance to connect directly with leading schools and education experts
PARTNER CONTENT: Following the success of February’s events, the next UK Boarding School Exhibition in Dubai will take place at Le Royal Meridien Resort & Spa, on Saturday, 15 November 2025 from 11am-4pm.
For parents in Dubai, the idea of sending a child overseas to a boarding school can feel both exciting and overwhelming.
With a long tradition of academic excellence, strong pastoral care, and a wealth of extracurricular opportunities, boarding schools are a popular choice for families who want to give their children a truly global education.
However, the process raises plenty of questions for many parents, from understanding the system to selecting the right school.
The event will be a great opportunity to meet representatives from leading schools across the UK who are flying in for the event, joining experts from Anderson Education.
They will all be providing free, impartial help and advice about boarding schools across the UK.
“Every parent wants the best education for their child, but choosing the right school is not just about academic qualifications and rankings,” says Sara Sparling, Director and Education Consultant at Anderson Education.
“Boarding school is a community; a chance to make friends for life, from all over the world. Life in a boarding school is excellent preparation for university and employment as it provides many of the non-academic skills that employers are looking for.
“One of the key advantages of boarding school life is the wide range of activities and experiences, which gives children the opportunity to develop confidence, independence and a breadth of skills and interests beyond the academic curriculum”, she continues.
“Sports, dance, drama, music, art, public speaking, aerobics, philosophy, pottery, gymnastics and much more are on offer at most boarding schools.”
Some of the schools attending include:
Bedford School
Bishop’s Stortford College
Brentwood School
Bromsgrove School
Cardiff Sixth Form College
Caterham School,
Dollar Academy
Eastbourne College
Kingswood School
Lancing College
Monkton Combe
New Hall School
Roedean School
Royal Russell School
Sevenoaks
St Swithun’s School
Strathalian School
Taunton School
The Royal Wolverhampton School
Wycliffe College
For families keen to explore their options in more detail, the UK Boarding School Exhibition in Dubai this November provides a unique opportunity to meet leading schools face-to-face, ask questions directly, and find the best fit for your child.
Whether you are just starting your journey or ready to make a decision, these exhibitions are designed to give you clarity and confidence.
The event is free to join, and registration is now open at Anderson Education.
Saturday, 15 November, 11am-4pm. Le Royal Meridien Resort & Spa, Dubai. For more information and to keep updated, don’t forget to follow Anderson Education on Facebook and @anderson_education on Instagram
