Over the past 10 years Abu Dhabi has seen amazing growth in all areas - but most notably - in higher education. The Universities have outstanding facilities and are building a strong reputation of quality in the region. Richmond graduates from Abu Dhabi and beyond have been coming to London for decades - achieving a highly reputable dual American/British degree - and then returning to their native land to build new and existing business. It is testament to what is happening at Richmond that these visits are able to be arranged and we are grateful for parents like Mr. Sami Suleiman who take the time and give generously to advance Richmond.
