A very warm welcome from Mr Martin Cole, Principal
It is a privilege to serve as Principal of Horizon English School, one of Dubai’s most valued ‘Outstanding’ primary schools and proudly recognised as the ‘Happiest School in the UAE 2021–23’. Since 1989, families have trusted Horizon for its commitment to happiness, wellbeing, and exceptional learning.
I joined the school in 2016, and from the very beginning Horizon has held a special place in my heart. I have seen firsthand the strength of our community and the remarkable achievements of our children, and I am deeply proud to lead a school that inspires me and so many others every day.
At Horizon, children flourish because they feel known, valued, and encouraged to explore their curiosity. Our British primary ethos, delivered by expert UK‑qualified primary specialist teachers, creates a nurturing environment where every child is supported to achieve their very best. This approach leads to some of the highest academic outcomes in Dubai, alongside strong personal and social development.
Our warm and inclusive community is what truly sets us apart. When your child joins Horizon, your family becomes part of a school where kindness matters, relationships thrive, and every child feels a deep sense of belonging.
All of these elements sit at the heart of what we do at Horizon; we strive to build an environment where every child feels truly seen, valued, and able to flourish. When this nurturing atmosphere is combined with the highest standards of teaching, children don’t just learn, they thrive, grow in confidence, and experience success in all its forms.
