Dubai Fact-File Part 7:
Business Owner Welfare and Lifestyle

7.6 Dubai Education

Education: Dubai has an excellent state-funded school system, but it is geared towards the education of the local Arab population. The fact that most tuition is held in Arabic precludes most foreign children from attending.

However, there is an excellent range of private and international schools in Dubai which cater for most of the expatriate communities in the country (British, American, Indian, Pakistani). Most of the international schools teach in the English language. In particular, most international schools follow the British and American national curricula. With regard to further education, Dubai also has several universities and business schools offering a range of university-level courses.

Tuition fees vary. For example, the English College in Dubai charges AED300 for an application, and term fees are between AED7,540 and AED16,940 (3 terms per academic year). The American School of Dubai charges fees on a full year basis and is more expensive – fees range from AED45,000 to AED70,720 and this is in addition to an assessment fee, which can be as high as AED11,020.
