About us

New Century Education (NCE) is headquartered in Abu Dhabi, UAE and established by one of the Middle East’s largest institutional investment groups, ADCG. NCE has the privilege of educating more than 9,000 students across nine campuses in Al Ain and Abu Dhabi, with future school projects underway.

Our company creates safe, dynamic and inspiring learning environments.

New Century Education provides positive, safe and inspiring learning environments to stimulate curiosity in children to learn, in order to develop confident and responsible individuals who aspire to achieve their full potential. New Century Education intends that all children should enjoy their learning and become independent life-long learners by transforming the education system through the implementation of personalized and self-paced learning.

This allows for the detection of individual talents early and to discover and accelerate students' interests, and on the other hand, to help remediate students who need the support by providing them with a solid foundation to build on by creating an atmosphere in which everyone is equal, and all achievements are celebrated, with the support of the strong and positive relationships cemented between the schools and the students' families, especially the parents.

“The future is in the hands of UAE youth, and they are the bet of the country for a brighter future.”
