Philadelphia Private School Dubai (PPS Dubai) was founded in 2006 as a private, international, English-medium, co-educational day school serving Pre-KG to Grade 12. The school is multilingual, with Arabic offered as a first and second language and French also available, reflecting Dubai's international community. PPS Dubai is a member of the Learner's World International Schools (LWIS) Network and receives ongoing educational consultancy through LWIS partners. It is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and KHDA recognizes PPS Dubai as an American Curriculum and IB World School. The school emphasizes a learner-centered, inclusive approach to education.
The PPS Dubai school community is vibrant and inclusive, encompassing students, parents, teachers, staff, management, consultants, and the broader community. Students elect representatives to the Student Council to voice ideas and see actions implemented. A dynamic Parents Committee (PC) represents parents and participates in the decision-making processes of the school. An Advisory Board brings together representatives from the Student Council, Alumni, PC, school management, and educators from both local and international communities. The school maintains an open-door policy that values input from every member of the PPS Dubai community.
The Parents Committee (PC) serves as the formal parent body at PPS Dubai and drives parent involvement in school life. The PC works with the school to ensure that the interests of both students and families are reflected in decision-making. An Advisory Board includes representatives from the Student Council, Alumni, PC, and school management, and this board helps set the school's direction in collaboration with the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees (BOT) oversees governance and includes input from student, alumni, and PC representatives through the Advisory Board. The school's open-door policy further encourages parent participation and feedback from the PC and other stakeholders. This structure shows a multi‑stakeholder approach to parent involvement beyond traditional volunteering.
