There are a large number of primary and secondary schools from which you can
choose. One of the best way to ask around because of the number of experts in
Dubai.
Most schools are private fee paying schools and really the best way to get an
idea of the reputation of a school is to ask friends, colleagues and other
experts who live in Dubai. Many of the schools also have their own websites
where you can learn about the curriculum they follow, after school programs etc.
When it comes to enrolling your child in the UAE there are a few restrictions
you should be aware of. For example you are not allowed to change your child
school during the academic year unless approval is given by the Ministry of
Education and the circumstances are special.
