About international schools in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
British-curriculum schools in Dubai mostly follow the English National Curriculum (EYFS/Key Stages) and commonly lead to IGCSE/GCSE qualifications at 15 - 16 and A-levels, BTEC or the IB Diploma in sixth form; English is the language of instruction but Arabic and UAE mandatory subjects are delivered alongside the British programme. Fees vary widely between budget, mid-market and premium campuses, with many British schools charging in the mid-range and headline tuition figures published openly by KHDA; Dubai authorities also confirmed there would be no general tuition increase for the 2026 - 27 academic year. Admissions are paced around a main September intake (some schools offer a January intake) and popular entry points - early years and Year 7 - are often the most competitive, so families usually apply many months in advance and prepare passport, visa/Emirates ID, recent school reports and a transfer certificate where required.
