About international schools in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Islamic international schools in Abu Dhabi typically combine an internationally recognised curriculum (British, American, IB and other international programmes) with mandatory UAE Ministry subjects such as Arabic, UAE social studies and Islamic education for Muslim students, so families can expect a blend of English-medium teaching and faith-based instruction. Schools usually offer Arabic in two tracks (first-language and additional-language pathways), daily or weekly Islamic studies and on-site prayer facilities, and some campuses provide gender-sensitive arrangements in older year groups. Tuition varies widely by curriculum, campus and year group - private-school fees in Abu Dhabi commonly run from low-cost community levels up to premium international fees, with extra one-off registration charges, exam, transport and activity costs to budget for. The main intake aligns with Abu Dhabi’s unified academic calendar in late August/early September, but places may open during the year; most schools require passport and visa copies, previous school reports or a transfer certificate, immunisation records and, for older children, entrance assessments, so start enquiries and applications several months before your move.
