About international schools in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Islamic international schools in Dubai are schools that combine a standard international curriculum (British, American, IB or, less commonly, the UAE Ministry of Education pathway) with formal Islamic Education, Quranic lessons and enhanced Arabic provision for Muslim and Arab students. Most operate in English as the primary medium while meeting UAE requirements to teach Arabic and Islamic studies to the relevant groups of pupils. Fees for schools that describe themselves as Islamic or offer a strong Islamic programme sit across the same wide Dubai range as other private schools - from lower-cost Ministry/Arabic-track or community options through mid-range international schools to senior-year fees in premium British/IB/American schools; the overall market commonly runs from roughly AED 8,000 - 25,000 at the low end to AED 60,000+ for many international schools, with top senior-year fees approaching AED 95,000 - 110,000 in the most expensive cases. The academic year follows the KHDA/MoE calendar (most private schools start around late August/early September) and demand is high, so relocating families should start applications well before arrival, be prepared for assessments, waiting lists and to show residency documents such as visas and Emirates IDs at registration.
