Schooling In Dubai

August 7, 2009 By 1 Comment

If you are planning to migrate to Dubai and have bought property in there, then you may want to know hows the schooling system in Dubai if you have children that need to enroll into Dubai’s school for their education.

Also, if you are having kids that are preparing to entering college or university, you may want to find out the college system for people who are living in the area as well.

In addition, it is also advisable for you to find out whether the location of the school that you are intended to enroll for your kids is off the island or at the mainland? What kind of transportation can you have to travel your kids to schools? Is there any shuttle tram service available?

Finally, you may want to know what is the Dubai strategy for it to work out the school program within the Free Zones?

Dubai School Education

If you are considering moving to Dubai with loved ones and are enthusiastic about finding out about the education program, the availability and quality of colleges, one of the best ways is to ask around! Simply because from the quantities of expats in Dubai there is really a large number of primary and secondary colleges from which you are able to choose from. Most colleges are private schools and the best way for you to get some ideas from the college reputation is through asking from friends, colleagues and other expats who live in Dubai. Many schools also have their own websites where you can just access to them and learn about the curriculum, school programs and so on that they provided.

When it comes to enrolling your child in the school in UAE, there are several restrictions you should be take into consideration. For instance you are not authorized to shift your child to other school during the academic year unless approval is given by the Ministry of Training with exceptional conditions. This signifies that you have to make certain the college you choose for your need to suit them in the first place. Another restriction you need to aware of is that if you move to Dubai on or after the 1st May each year, then you will not be able to enroll your kid to the schooling program for that year. Instead you will need to wait for next new intake from the new school which is generally starting on September each year.
