The main differences between the International Baccalaureate, A-Levels, and the American curriculum are related to personal choices and learning techniques. The International Baccalaureate allows students to study a broader set of subjects and is seen by admissions advisers as 'encouraging independent inquiry' within students. A-Levels provide a more in-depth study of core subjects (usually no more than 4).
Although there is no set American curriculum, most schools adopt the Common Core curriculum, which enables students to study a broad range of subjects. As they enter the final years of high school, students can select core subjects they would like to pursue in more depth.

Yes, learning Arabic as a first language is a compulsory course for Arab Nationals to Grade 12. Learning and loving Arabic as a language will play a significant role in our students’ lives. We believe that the development of the Arabic Language is crucial for both cognitive development and maintaining cultural identity while achieving the UAE vision.
Arabic as a foreign language is also taught to non-Arab students.

I have had challenges providing the documents asked for by the school to complete the KHDA registration process. What should I do?

.We appreciate all applications to Dubai Schools but unfortunately due to limited spaces our applications are on a first come first serve basis. Please rest assured that if we are not able to offer your child a place at this stage, we will keep their application on file should something become available at a later date.
Every scholarship application is reviewed by the government and assessed based on the documents that you have submitted. The scholarship awarded is therefore determined on a number of factors including the family book and salary information.
Please note that the assessment will not determine if your child is accepted into Dubai Schools, this is simply a way for us to better understand their ability level and to ensure that they are successfully supported in the classroom.
The KHDA stipulates that a re-registration fee of AED 500 of the annual tuition fees must be applied for all students that are re-registering. This fee will then be deducted from Term 1 tuition fees.
For all new students, a deposit of AED 500 is required to secure your child’s place. This fee will then be deducted from Term 1 tuition fees.
If I decide to withdraw my child's application before the term starts, will I receive back my re-registration deposit?
The re-registration deposit will not be refunded unless there are extenuating circumstances. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, evidence of family/student relocation to another country/emirate or any other unforeseen circumstances.
