In a significant move to enhance educational offerings in the UAE, Aldar Education has announced an investment of 385.8 million dirhams to develop the Cranleigh Abu Dhabi campus. This substantial investment aims to relocate the campus for middle and high school education to a new state-of-the-art facility on Saadiyat Island. Scheduled to open in the 2027-2028 academic year, the new campus will accommodate up to 2,178 students, further solidifying Cranleigh Abu Dhabi’s position in meeting the growing demand for British education.
Details of the New Campus
The transformed Cranleigh Abu Dhabi campus will be just a seven-minute drive from its current location, strategically situated next to the preschool building.
