Schools and Parents

Khaleej Times' Schools and Parents is for UAE moms and dads navigating one of life's greatest questions: How can I give my kids the best education possible?

Whether you're moving to Dubai or Abu Dhabi from overseas, or shifting within the UAE, you need to know: Which school is the right fit? Which neighbourhood? Which school commute? We're here to give clarity, confidence - and maybe even a new community.

For many expat families, especially those new to the UAE, the education system is unfamiliar terrain. Parents can be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of decisions from school fees and curricula to drive times and neighbourhood vibes.

That's where we come in. Through thoughtfully crafted guides, other parents' stories, and step-by-step advice, we aim to clear the confusion.

We help parents match their values, lifestyle, and budget with the right school and community. Whether you're choosing between British, IB, Indian or American curricula, or trying to decode the admissions timeline, you need a guide to informed decision-making.
