Dubai Schools Map
You can use the above map of Dubai with pinned schools for choosing a school for your child, and you can filter the schools by curriculum and city area.
Dubai schooling system
All children between the ages of five and 15 are required to attend school. Although Dubai has both public and private schools, 90% of education is provided by private schools, offering American, British, French or other curricula and a range of grades from FS (Foundation Stage) to Grade 12. The list below includes schools categorized by the primary curriculum they offer (although there are many schools that provide multiple curricula) and the KHDA rating.
Dubai's Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) rates schools on a scale of six results, from Outstanding (substantially exceeds expectation), Very Good (exceeds expectation), Good (meets the expectation), Acceptable (meets the minimum level of quality), Weak (below expectation) to Very Weak (significantly below expectation.
