We've been looking at good schools in Abu Dhabi too. They were recently 'graded' for the first time by a government agency and sadly, none received the highest rating (outstanding). There are about half a dozen that meet the second rating (very good). All are listed here:http://whichschooladvisor.com/guides/best-schools-in-abu-dhabi-school-ratings/
I suggest you get in touch with the relevant office at immigration for the particular questions.But generally, once a person has worked for a year, despite any stated length of contract, both employee or employer can give usually between 1-3 months notice to quit a job (including bankers and lawyers on contracts in the UAE whose employers have spent a ton of money to fly them over, pay their accommodation, children's schooling, health care, etc.). Even if not written into the contract, the same respect should be given to a domestic worker.
Hi there,
Just a warning - Make sure you ask if the employer will pay for deposits for more than one school as they are over subscribed or whether they have relationships that will ensure they can get in to one. Also, all employers have a limit of what they will pay for tuition (and may not pay for books, uniforms, etc.) so make sure you ask how much they pay per year per child - sometimes this is less than some of the better British school tuitions.
