Does anyone have any information about Aldar opening a school in Al Ain in September 2011? Would like to know what year it will go up to and if there is someone we can contact about admissions now.

Thanks in advance!

I beleive Heather Mann will be the head (Yasmina head) and the deputy will be from the Pearl. There is also going to be a new Aldar school in Mushriff. It will be from 3 -18 like Yasmina. It will open in 2011 with FS1 - Year 4. For the first 2 years it will be on the Al Bateen secondary site, while Muxshriff is being refurbished. That Heather Mann is going around the place, first she was at JPS and then moved down to Abu Dhabi and now moving again to Al Ain. Yes I have mentioned the other new aldar schools in abu dhab beforei, but this thread is particularly about the proposed one in Al Ain. The Mushrif one is not opening properly until 2013 as its being housed temporarily in the vacant sections of Al Bateen until they add other secondary years in the forthcoming years in abu dhabi.

Thank you both, again. Great to have it confirmed, if unofficially! I'll keep checking the Aldar website - should imagine there will be something posted soon if they're advertising for staff. Will post back here if I learn anything more. Thank you! m

It's a government school refurb, exactly like Pearl and Muna. I would keep checking on the Aldar Academies website for info- this has only just been confirmed. yes only today have ads gone out for teaching staff etc. jim harvey is the one with his finger on the button he will know what is going on. i know him well, he was head at bsak before moving over to aldar academics to run the education side of things. he is a nice guy. <em>edited by busybee2 on 25/03/2011</em>

Thanks very much, busybee and ninap. If you have any information re how to register or someone I could speak to about the school and registering I'd really appreciate it! (and will spread the word - would be great if they could open for the older year groups - am optimistic there will be the demand). And don't suppose you know exactly where it's located? Thanks again m the best person that i know who would be able to help would be Jim Harvey, he is charge off all the education side of things here in abu dhabi, and so will be the man to talk to.

It will def go up to Year 4, adding a year group each year. If there are enough applications, 5 and 6 will open too. It will be near the Hilton. Head and deputy already appointed. edited by ninap on 25/03/2011 <em>edited by ninap on 25/03/2011</em>
