Russian schools in Dubai

When planning to live in the UAE with a family, the most important aspect will be the choice of educational organization for children. The system of education here after kindergarten includes preparatory groups, where they are accepted from 4-6 years old, primary and secondary school with junior and senior levels, covering the age up to 18 years.

Obtaining secondary education in the UAE is mandatory for both locals and residents. The academic year in such educational institutions lasts 9 months, from September to June. Free education is possible for citizens of the country, while residents and their children can study only for a fee. 

Therefore, many families choose private institutions that offer education in different languages, including Russian. Some educational institutions conduct the learning process according to the programs of European countries, and some - according to the Russian ones. The cost of the school year depends on many factors, including the prestige of the school and the age of the child.

If necessary, a child's enrollment can be approved at any time of the school year. Almost all educational institutions require testing in order to determine the level of knowledge.

Parents will have to prepare the paperwork:

  • a photo of the child with the application form;
  • originals and copies of the parents' personal identification documents;
  • child's birth certificate and immunization document;
  • a certificate of academic performance from the previous educational institution.
A popular Russian-speaking educational institution is Russian International School with a program built according to federal state standards. This is convenient so that the child can more quickly fit into a new school, and especially if the family is planning to return to their native country after a while. The school offers preparation for elementary grades and classes on Saturdays with additional lessons chosen at will. The program "Gifted Children", implemented within the walls of the institution, is aimed at improving the creative and research abilities of children.

It is also worth paying attention to the educational center "AIST" with a Russian bias, for children from 3 to 15 years old, comfortably learning in small groups. The center offers a wide range of educational directions: from basic academic subjects to lessons on interests, such as chess, dancing and acting. The training program is based on the basics of the Federal State Educational Standards.
For families where children have a good command of foreign languages, educational centers based on foreign educational programs are available. Kings School Dubai offers education according to the British program with an emphasis on sports and creative achievements. GEMS Dubai American Academy emphasizes the American system, developing mental, creative and physical abilities of students.
Certainly, the cost of education in the surveyed schools is high and starts from 7 thousand dollars per school year, but it guarantees quality education for your children in a comfortable environment.

Please note that when entering any educational institution, the documents must undergo the process of legalization in the UAE. Openbiz specialists can help you with this issue. The process can be discussed during a free consultation.
