Diagnostics and strategy
Age, language, curriculum — British, IB, American, Russian — and budget. The outcome: a school shortlist and a waitlist plan.

Education, end to end
We place a child in a UAE nursery, school or university — whole: from strategy and waitlists to enrollment and adaptation. Dubai's strong schools fill 12–24 months ahead — we start before the move.
What's included
02
Waitlists in advance
Strong schools fill 12–24 months before the move — we join the queues while the family is still at home. This is the decisive head start.
03
Documents before the flight
Transcripts, certificates, references — full legalization of the package while the family is still home. The most common cause of delayed offers is precisely documents.
04
Preparing the child
English and entrance assessments — with partner centres holding the regulator's permit.
05
Enrollment and visa
School tours, assessments, the offer, regulator registration, the child's student visa.
06
Adaptation and the path ahead
First-term support; then transfers, a second child, the university track. Our position is an independent adviser: the fee for school selection is paid by the parent only.

Questions and answers
How do I choose a school in Dubai?
Start with the curriculum — British, American, IB or Indian: it defines the study plan and the next step. Then district, KHDA rating, language support. We narrow the list to 3–4 schools for your child and take you to viewings.
When should we apply?
Main intake opens about a year ahead, from autumn; entries do happen all year round. The realistic plan depends on age and curriculum — we tell you straight away where places exist.
What is needed for enrolment?
School reports for past years, a reference letter, passports and visas, the vaccination record; some schools run entry assessments. Translations and legalisation are on us.
How much does schooling cost?
School fees depend on curriculum and rating and vary many times over — you pay them to the school directly, and each school publishes its current fees. Our work — selection, paperwork and enrolment — is per child and fixed in the estimate.
