About Horizon English School
Horizon English School (HES) was founded in 1989 in a small villa with just 12 children, growing over more than 35 years into one of Dubai's oldest and most established primary-only schools. Centrally located in the prestigious Jumeirah neighbourhood, minutes from Downtown Dubai, HES has been part of the Cognita global family of schools since March 2021.
HES is a non-selective, private primary school offering the National Curriculum for England to children aged 3 to 11, from FS1 to Year 6. The school serves over 1,000 to 1,100 students from more than 47 nationalities, taught by 78 teachers and 48 teaching assistants, including 99 students of determination, reflecting its inclusive, non-selective admissions approach.
HES has held an "Outstanding" KHDA rating consistently since the 2018-19 academic year and has been recognised as the "Happiest School in the UAE" at the Top School Awards. The school will expand into an all-through model for students aged 3 to 18 with the planned opening of Horizon English School Town Square in August 2027, building on Horizon's 35-year heritage and reputation for wellbeing-focused education.
