Dubai is set to expand its network of premium schools through a partnership between Dubai Holding and Nord Anglia Education, a leading private education provider. The collaboration aims to build K-12 schools, covering kindergarten to Grade 12, in key communities managed by Dubai Holding, including Nakheel, Meraas, and Dubai Properties developments.
The first school, planned for Dubai Production City, will follow the British curriculum and serve families in nearby areas such as Jumeirah Golf Estates, Emirates Living, and Tilal Al Ghaf. Additional schools are expected in other Dubai Holding communities over the coming years, subject to regulatory approval from the Knowledge and Human Development Authority.
