Your full list to all the private and international schools in Abu Dhabi

Your child's education will have a big impact on their future successes in life. Not only do schools look at the important subject matters that they will need in every day life such as numbers and languages, but your children will also learn life and social skills outside the classroom that they will help them for the rest of their lives. That is why it is so important to place your child in a good school that will help mold your child into the person who you would like to see them become one day.

Abu Dhabi have numerous schooling options available for parents: from private to public schools, American or British curriculum and so much more to choose from. But one specific category of schools stand out from the rest: International Schools.

International schools have started becoming more popular in recent years as travelling has become easier and this is opening up a whole new educational option for parents.

Choosing to send your child to an international school has numerous advantages such as broadening their horizons, introducing them to the global society and in turn making them more aware of (and used to) different cultures and teaching them to embrace globalisation. It might even inspire their inner travel bug to go out and explore the world!
