Education in Dubai can be broadly classified under the following heads:

  • Secondary

The school system in Dubai is almost the same as the rest of the UAE. Education at primary and secondary level is universal and compulsory up to ninth grade.
  • 4 to 5 year-olds attend kindergarten
  • 6 to 11 year-olds attend primary schools

  • 15 to 17 year-olds attend secondary schools

UAE has several public and private schools both for the locals and expatriates. The medium of instruction in public schools is Arabic with emphasis on English as a second language. The Ministry of Education of the United Arab Emirates is responsible for school's accreditation.

There are many schools like the Delhi Private School, Our Own English High School, the Dubai Modern High School, Buds Public School, Dubai and the The Indian High School, Dubai offer either a CBSE or an ICSE Indian syllabus and caters to the expatriate community.
