Lee Hole, Founding Principal of Dubai British School Jumeira, told us:
“DBS Jumeira’s aim to empower students to reach for their potential aligns beautifully with my own commitment to the young people that I serve in schools.
I believe that every child has the ability to achieve great things when they find the right school environment and are nurtured to achieve their best.”
Alan Williamson, Chief Executive Officer at Taaleem, commenting on Dubai British School Mira, told SchoolsCompared:
“We’re excited to announce the addition of Dubai British School Mira in a rapidly expanding and sought-after community, marking the next milestone in our five-year strategy which we set out at the time of our IPO. Our decision to introduce DBS Mira, which will accommodate over 1,600 students at full utilization, further emphasizes our dedication to our growth strategy. In addition we remain committed and on track to complete a further two greenfield projects.
“DBS Mira will enhance enrolment and resource optimization across our premium and partnership schools’ network, extends our premium schools’ portfolio in the UAE and offers new communities the opportunity to access values-based world-class education at an affordable price point. By prudently and strategically employing the capital raised from the IPO to expedite growth, Taaleem remains committed to delivering attractive returns and capturing additional profitable long-term growth, in order to maximize value for our shareholders.”
