About Sharjah English School
Sharjah English School (SES) was founded in 1974 by a group of British companies seeking home-style education for their employees' children, opening as a primary school near Maliha Road before adding a secondary section on a new site in University City in 2005. The first GCSE cohort sat exams in 2008, and the first A-Level class graduated in 2010, with further expansion including a new secondary block in 2011 and a new foundation and infants building in October 2017.
SES is one of the oldest private, not-for-profit, co-educational schools in the UAE, following the National Curriculum for England and Wales from Foundation Stage through Sixth Form for students aged 3 to 19. Unlike many Sharjah schools that offer IGCSE, SES students sit GCSEs as taught and examined in England, followed by A-Levels, with a limited range of IGCSE and BTEC courses recently introduced.
As the smallest not-for-profit school in the UAE, SES combines strong educational values with an intimate community atmosphere, and has built a strong reputation for music, arts, and sporting success. The school is accredited as "Outstanding" by British Schools Overseas (BSO) across all seven standards, reflecting its position as one of the highest-rated British curriculum schools in the region.
