School placement

Dubai has hundreds of private schools across British, IB, American, Indian and other curricula, inspected and rated annually by the KHDA. Places at the strongest schools in popular year groups go early. Timing matters more than almost anything else, which is why school planning should start before the tenancy, not after it.
