Hello everyone
I am looking for any advice, with regards to, schools in Abu Dhabi. I would like a UK curriculum based one,
Is there a website that someone can recommend where i can look at inspection reports etc.
my son (6 years old) and I are not moving with my husband, we will follow after. i was advised to look at schools first and then decide where to stay.
All advice is welcome.
Thank you all in advance
Regards
If you really want to live in Dubai, check out the areas on the AD side like in Jebel Ali or around DIP. The cost of living are also lower in these areas. However I would also go and live in Abu Dhabi. I think the overall cost picture there is also better than Dubai. It is also very child friendly.
As I have 2 friends in Dubai, I thought it would make sense to be there. However through the advice on this thread, reading though other posts here, as well as my sisters friend, the advice is to look at AD - both from a proximity angle to my husbands work location as well as schools.
Thank you for your advice. I'll start to focus on AD - makes sense. We're probably looking to leave here after the summer holidays in the UK.
thank you :-)
Hello, if I was you, I would live in AD. It's a very family friendly place with good schools.
Try to find a school first and live close by. This will make your life much easier. I would recommend to look at newer compounds close to the airport or Yas island. You can get more info on certain fb groups or abudhabiwoman.
Hello
Thank you for your advice. IAD has been advised to me by my sisters friend as well rather than Dubai.
I'll start to look at schools in AD. If you have any advice on these i'd be grateful. It will most likely be that we move out after the summer.
thank you again.
Hello
Thank you.
Apologies fro not acknowledging your reply sooner - its been all over the place and we have just had everything confirmed.
My husband will be working just outside AD in Barakah. he will be staying there for 4 days and then home for 3. I looked at AD but was told it was expensive and to looking at Dubai.
I know one person in Dubai but she's not got family so doesn't know about schools etc.
I will look at the link you have sent me and see what i can get from there.
Thank you for your advice regarding looking for school first.
its all very daunting at the moment
