Jebel Ali School scores the highest parental, teacher and student feedback rating of any school in Dubai or Abu Dhabi from our sister site WhichSchoolAdvisor.com.
It does not come any better. Another not-for-profit, this year’s top schools are beginning to highlight the very special features that come with schools that re-invest profits to the benefit of their children. It is also another school mid-way through a journey that is seeing it transform from a best-in-class Primary to a pure British all through school culminating in a Sixth Form offer focused on A Level.
There is a price to pay for the move to its beautifully designed new school with a jump from fixed FS1 – Year 6 fees of AED 44,960 to significantly increased fees from Year 7 rising from AED 83,000. It’s the biggest jump in fees of any school in the emirates and will undoubtedly need to be carefully planned for by parents.
Traditionally a feeder school to Dubai College, The English College Dubai and Jumeirah College, Jebel Ali School has now also set itself up to compete with three of the highest performing schools in Dubai. Ambitious stuff.
Bottom line, for us, comes back to happiness and well-being however. This is a happy school – it’s another emerging theme of schools that are securing a place in our Top 20 Best schools. This is no easy feat – getting the balance between a happy education, whole child development and academic results right is the holy grail for both schools, children and parents.
