What are the schools in UAE like?
When we asked about the schools in UAE, they said...
"The UAE is home to some of the best international and bilingual schools in the world. One of the most renowned international schools is the Dubai American Academy, which offers an American-style curriculum and is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. The school provides a comprehensive education for students from kindergarten to grade 12, with a focus on developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills. Another top international school is the GEMS World Academy, which offers an international curriculum and is accredited by the Council of International Schools. The school provides a holistic education for students from kindergarten to grade 12, with a focus on developing global citizenship and leadership skills. For bilingual education, the International School of Choueifat is one of the best in the UAE. The school offers a dual-language curriculum in English and Arabic, and is accredited by the Council of International Schools. The school provides a comprehensive education for students from kindergarten to grade 12, with a focus on developing language proficiency and cultural understanding," explained one expat living in UAE.
"State your needs, and you will find a school that will honestly evaluate your needs, and let you know if they can or can not meet them. If they feel this is not the best match for your child, they will help you find a school that is. As they have just been approved for the IB program, this will allow greater meeting of needs of high school students," said one parent with children at Dubai American Academy in Dubai.
