Brighton College Dubai is celebrating a landmark year of academic achievement, with the Class of 2025 delivering record-breaking A Level results that set a new benchmark for the school.
This year saw an unprecedented rise in top grades, with A* grades soaring to 28% – almost double last year’s 15%.
