Duke of Edinburgh Award

Embrace the Challenge and Discover Yourself

At Repton Dubai, we proudly offer the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, a globally recognized programme that operates in more than 130 countries.

This award celebrates and recognizes the achievements of young people outside of the academic setting, helping them grow into well-rounded, confident individuals.

A Global Framework for Personal Growth

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is more than just an extracurricular activity—it’s a journey of self-discovery. This non-formal education framework empowers students to find their purpose, passion, and place in the world by developing essential life skills. From increasing fitness levels to cultivating a spirit of adventure, the Award encourages students to step out of their comfort zones and engage with their communities through meaningful volunteering.

Commitment and Rewards

Participation in the Award requires dedication, but the rewards are profound. Students develop vital soft skills that are increasingly sought after in today’s dynamic workplace. A key highlight of the program is the Adventurous Journeys, held annually in January and March in one of the Northern Emirates. These journeys, spanning two to four days, involve hiking, camping, and navigating unfamiliar terrain, offering students an unparalleled experience in teamwork, resilience, and leadership.
