The schools will be located in Mirdif and Al Barsha, and will be operational in August 2021. Both schools will follow the American curriculum but will focus on Arabic literacy, science and technology, the UAE’s culture and Islamic studies.

The schools will be operated by Taaleem, one of the country’s top education providers, and will be regulated by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), Dubai’s private education regulator.
