Primary Teacher

Established in 2005, Gulf British Academy is an independent, co-educational, BSO-accredited school that has just relocated to state-of-the-art, purpose-built premises - a reflection of the school’s educational ambition.

Presently, GBA caters for pupils from Pre-KG to Year 8. We aim to add a new year group every year until we become a fully 3-18 school. This rapid growth provides a wide range of opportunities for professional development and in-house promotion.
