These schools adopt pure English instruction and are the best and most expensive schools in Dubai. Many schools also teach second languages (mostly French, Spanish, German, etc.), offer abundant extracurricular activities, emphasize holistic student development, and enable graduates to directly apply for higher education in Europe and America.
2. IB system schools
The IBDP (International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme) is a two-year pre-university course that also serves as part of high school curriculum. It extensively incorporates the strengths of mainstream education systems from numerous developed countries. The IB diploma is globally recognized as an international qualification and is regarded as a "golden ticket to elite universities." Prestigious institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Princeton, and Harvard offer numerous admission advantages to graduates of this program.
3. Indian curriculum (CBSE)
Indian curriculum schools are divided into two types: one is Indian schools following the Indian government curriculum, and the other is Indian schools following the British curriculum. The former is represented by DPS (Delhi Public School), while the latter is represented by OUR OWN ENGLISH SCHOOL.
4. UAE national education system
These schools follow the local government curriculum system, primarily consisting of public schools with a small number of private institutions. UAE government schools are almost exclusively open to Emirati nationals, making it highly unlikely for students from other countries to enroll in such schools.
