Arcadia Global School

Arcadia British School opened its Primary Campus in 2016 and its Secondary Campus in 2019, establishing the Arcadia Group's footprint in Dubai's JVT area. Arcadia Global School opened in 2023 in Al Furjan, Dubai, as the third school in the Arcadia Education portfolio. It began with the National Curriculum for England for EYFS to Year 6, with plans to add GCSEs for Years 10–11 and then A levels in later years. The school is led by Founding Principal Andrew Wilson, who outlined the plan to grow alongside a strong focus on enrichment and wellbeing. The governance framework includes Mohan Valrani as Founding Governor of Student, Parent, and Staff Wellbeing and Navin Valrani as Founding CEO of Arcadia Education, highlighting a family-led approach to education within the group.

Arcadia Global School opened in 2023 with around 850 pupils from more than 60 nationalities, reflecting a diverse and inclusive community. The campus is located adjacent to the Al Furjan Metro Station, providing easy access for families across Dubai. The enriched curriculum includes a STREAM approach and the Junior MBA programme from Year 3, alongside the AGS Posana Programme for wellbeing and character development. The Arcadia Apollo Theatre, a 1,200-seat venue opened with the secondary campus, serves as a community hub for performances, guest lectures, and wider community gatherings, reinforcing the school's emphasis on arts, culture, and community engagement. KHDA involvement is evident in school events and inaugurations, underscoring active collaboration with the education authorities.

Arcadia Global School does not publish a dedicated PTA page on its site; however, parental involvement is formalized through a governance structure that includes a Founding Governor of Student, Parent, and Staff Wellbeing. The school emphasizes parent engagement as part of its wellbeing and character development approach through the Posana Wellbeing Programme and Maslow Before We Bloom. The Arcadia Apollo Theatre is a community hub for performances, guest lectures, and wider community gatherings that invite family participation. Inaugural events have involved KHDA Director General attendance, reflecting strong parent- and community-facing collaboration. Founding leadership stresses a family-centered approach to education, with Arcadia's founding families (Mohan Valrani as Chairman and Navin Valrani as Founding CEO) guiding the school's ethos.
