Established in 2005, Gulf British Academy is an independent, co-educational, BSO, BSME and COBIS accredited school.
In August 2020, we opened the doors to our brand new premises. Currently, GBA caters for pupils from Pre-KG to Year 10. We aim to add a new year group every year until we become a fully 3-18 school. This rapid growth provides a wide range of opportunities for professional development and in-house promotion.
