The minimum age for grade 1 according to the UAE ministry of education is Dec. 31, 2009. My daughter is supposed to be going into grade 2 but she was born Dec. 17, 2008, and I thought that might be a problem, but so far we've heard that they can be flexible for people close to the age requirement if they're transferring in at that grade level.
