The Cedar School is a project of City School Holdings International located in Al Warqa'a First, Dubai. It provides an enriched education through the British Curriculum, focusing on individualized learning and an enrichment programme. The school was founded in 2021 and is part of City School Holdings' UAE network, with plans to extend to Year 11 in the near term. Cedar School is regulated by KHDA and appears in the Dubai KHDA Directory as Cedar School L.L.C, Al Warqa First, offering Foundation Stage 1 onward. In its first KHDA inspection, Cedar School received an Acceptable rating with Good features, including progress in English and mathematics and strong wellbeing indicators.
Cedar School's community includes families from more than 46 nationalities, reflecting a diverse and inclusive environment. The school emphasises inclusion and close student support, aided by small class sizes and a caring culture. Community events include We Are One, hosted at The Cedar School in October 2024, organized by Dune Productions. There are ongoing parent-engagement opportunities such as Stay & Play Tuesdays for FS1/FS2 families.
A formal Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is not publicly documented on Cedar School Dubai's official channels. Some third-party directories and articles claim Cedar School has a dedicated PTA, but these sources are not official. Where a formal PTA is not publicly documented, parent involvement occurs through informal channels and events such as Stay & Play sessions (FS1/FS2) and direct communications via the admissions team. Cedar School maintains regular parent communications through contact channels such as admissions@cedarschool.ae and the school's contact numbers. The school has hosted community events like We Are One in October 2024, illustrating active engagement with families and the wider community. KHDA's inspection framework highlights wellbeing and inclusion, contextualizing how parent involvement can support the school's ongoing development.
