Commenting on the successful journey of OOEHS over the last 40 years, Shobhana Verghese, Executive Principal said parental trust, dedication of teachers and the GEMS commitment to excellence have always been at the core of the school’s reputation and strength.

“True to its name, Our Own English High School has always fostered a sense of belonging among its students, parents and teachers. It is a continuing tradition of mutual trust nurtured by excellence, values and shared determination to be the best,” added Verghese.


Starting as a modest school of 27 students and three teachers in the Al Bastakiya area of Dubai in 1968, Our Own English High School has grown to include seven campuses across the UAE serving students of different nationalities.

The school currently provides high quality education to 10,560 students from kindergarten to Year 12 in its two locations in Dubai including the Al Warqa campus.
