It's really hard to try and decide on schools, area to live, driving etc. from overseas and I totally empathise with you. We lived in Springs 3 for a year and really didn't like it found it noisy (close to the busy 4 lane road) little things always going wrong with the villa, rats! (yes always leaving little 'messages' on our bedroom balcony) and no pool. If your thinking of Arabian Ranches area to live there is a new school in Arabian Ranches 2 community (Ranches Primary School) and they have school transport from FS 1 upwards so if your nervous about driving you could use that until you were more confident. Depends what you are looking for and what you feel your children would be happy with, don't forget they will be as nervous as you, new home, new school, new friends. Maybe a smaller populated school would suit them better than a busy vibrant school, you know your children better than anyone and if they are happy then so will you be wherever you live. Good luck

I think much depends on where you intend to live. Now the schools have all returned there are many complaints regarding traffic, access, parking etc. If you are thinking of the Arabian Ranches area the new Ranches Primary School is close by as is JESS (although I think you'd be lucky to get onto a waiting list there). It may be better to find a school first then search for accommodation. Best of luck :cool:

The first person you need to advise is the school registrar in admissions. They will then pass the information on. I would also double check the financial situation as dependent on the school it could be that they will keep the first terms fees/deposit cheque, but check this with the Registrar when you contact them, the sooner you do it the more likely you'll get your money back. If you are moving to another school in Dubai then the schools will sort the transfer certificate out as this is done electronically via the KHDA, however if your moving to another country/UAE then the Registrar will again advise you what needs to be done. Good luck.
