Named the World’s Best School for Environmental Action 2025, Arbor combines academic achievement with a commitment to sustainability, creativity and community. Its distinctive approach - known as ecoliteracy - helps students connect what they learn in the classroom to real-world issues through meaningful, hands-on experiences.From growing food in the school’s biodomes and studying marine ecosystems with Emirates WWF, to exploring ethical design in art and technology, Arbor students learn how science, empathy and innovation can work together to create positive change.At its core, Arbor is a caring, inclusive community that believes every child deserves to be known, supported and inspired. Small class sizes, personalised pathways and strong pastoral care ensure that each student can thrive academically, emotionally and socially.As students move from Primary through to Secondary and Sixth Form, they benefit from a unique Futures Counselling Programme, linking GCSE and A Level studies with university and career pathways around the world. Graduates leave with confidence, direction, independence and a sense of purpose.The school’s mission is simple: to develop young people who think critically, act responsibly and care deeply - for themselves, for others and for the planet.
