The campus sits at the centre of the Sobha Hartland community and is accessible via Al Khail, Ras Al Khor and Oud Metha roads.

The school operates from Foundation Stage (FS1) through Year 13, following a 13-year British curriculum and accommodating ages roughly 3 to 18. It functions as a through school with distinct primary and secondary phases and a Sixth Form.

Hartland International School is co-educational and fee-paying, offering a British curriculum. The school does not provide boarding facilities for any year group.

The Inclusion programme supports students who require additional learning needs, English language learners and those who are exceptionally able. Provision is delivered in collaboration with the SENDCO and Inclusion Team, with potential 1:1 interventions, in-class supports, and access to external services where needed; ASDAN programmes are also offered.

The school is a British curriculum school overseas, aligned with the National Curriculum for England. It operates within the UK-based international schools framework.

There is no formal religious affiliation stated; the school emphasises an inclusive, values-based ethos suitable for a diverse international community.

The school day generally starts around 7:30 and ends around 16:00, with shorter hours on Fridays; exact timings can vary by level and term. The KHDA calendar indicates a three-term year running from late August to early July.
