This involvement makes TIMSS 2023 one of the most comprehensive international assessments of mathematics and science achievement.

It is a testament to the strength of our academic framework and our forward-thinking approach to education. The results demonstrate our core values of confidence, curiosity, and our commitment to providing a world-class education that inspires future success."

This notable performance in TIMSS 2023 aligns with Brighton College Dubai’s recent A-Level results, where almost half of all grades were A*/A, enabling pupils to secure places at top global universities such as Imperial College London, University College London, Durham University, and the University of Edinburgh.
