How we put this together

DXB Schools is an independent guide that summarises publicly available information to help parents compare Dubai private schools. We are not a regulator.

KHDA ratings

Ratings come from the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), Dubai's official school regulator. We record the rating and most recent inspection year; always confirm the current rating on KHDA.gov.ae.

School-run drive-time estimates

Drive times are estimates intended as practical guidance for parents. Actual journey times vary by traffic, route, weather, school drop-off procedures and time of day. We model a morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up on a typical weekday using traffic-aware routing. Always check routes directly before making a final decision.

Parent sentiment

Parent sentiment is an indicative summary of publicly available parent feedback and/or submitted reviews. It is not an official inspection rating and should be used alongside KHDA reports, school visits and direct conversations with admissions teams.

Fees, curriculum & community data

Compiled from public sources including KHDA and school websites; treat fees and community rent figures as indicative and verify current details directly.

Independence

DXB Schools is not affiliated with KHDA, the UAE Ministry of Education, or any school, and does not rank schools as "best".
