International Schools in Dubai
Being such an international city, Dubai naturally has a ready market for international schools and the pupils that attend them. There are around 140 international schools in Dubai with a mix of English National Curriculum / British schools, International Baccalaureate and American schools dominating. Beyond that there are Swiss, German, French, Indian and UAE schools, so most requirements can be met for expat families making Dubai their home.
Dubai International schools are overseen by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA). Each year they inspect schools and report on areas they need to work on as well as their strengths to help inform parents before they make their decisions. You can find all of the international schools in Dubai at the KHDA website and see how they rank.
About Dubai
Dubai and nearby Abu Dhabi have become some of the most important international cities in the world. Over the last 20 years, Dubai has changed its whole economy to take advantage of its strategically important location between east and west.
Hot all year round, Dubai has created an environment where almost everything can be done indoors - from skiing to karting to even an indoor theme park. Expat families can always find entertainment without having to cope with temperatures that can reach into the 50s.
