Aquila feels like home - safe, supportive and inspiring

As a student of the Aquila school my heart cannot fully express the gratitude I feel for for being a part of this warm community, where I am freely able to express myself and feel supported in everything I choose to pursue, with full guidance from every member of staff. I am truly unable to use words to describe how welcome and at home I feel in Aquila where I am always happy, safe and learning.

Adventure and fun every day!

Aquila helps you reach your full potential

Aquila ensures that the best can be brought out of all their students and doesn't shy away from supporting us in any way that we need. As a recepient of both a public speaking scholarship and the 2 year 75% scholarship, Aquila's accessibility has been unimaginably helpful.

Khadyja Year 13

What sets our school apart is how every decision is made with the best interest of the child at heart. It’s a privilege to be part of a team that truly prioritises student wellbeing and success.

For me, Aquila is a place where I am trusted, supported and inspired to grow, not just as a student but as myself.

I joined Aquila in it's first year. I went from no-English six years ago to becoming a Million Words Reader. Today you'll find me volunteering in school to mentor primary pupils. I play the violin and I've performed at the Dubai Opera. I'm a year 12 IB student studying Business and Environmental Sciences and one day I'll start my own sustainable business. I feel ready, independent, curious, confident and excited for what's next. For me, Aquila is a place where I am trusted, supported and inspired to grow, not just as a student but as myself.
