Dubai Holding and Nord Anglia Education, the leading international schools organisation, announced plans to develop and operate state-of-the-art premium K-12 schools across Dubai.
Under the partnership, the first Nord Anglia Education school, offering a British curriculum, is scheduled to open in Dubai Production City in the coming few years, subject to final approval by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority.
The school will serve families in neighbouring communities including Jumeirah Golf Estates, Emirates Living and Tilal Al Ghaf. Additional Nord Anglia Education K-12 schools are planned across other flagship Dubai Holding communities in the future.
Students will connect and collaborate with more than 100,000 peers worldwide through Nord Anglia’s Global Campus online learning platform, and take part in exclusive global experiences such as expeditions to Tanzania and Les Martinets in Switzerland, alongside high-quality regional sports and performing arts events.
Teaching and learning will also be enriched through Nord Anglia's collaborations with leading global institutions, including UNICEF, The Juilliard School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and IMG Academy.
Malek Al Malek, Group Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Asset Management, said: “This partnership reflects Dubai’s continued commitment to creating the next generation urban centre and the environment where people and businesses can thrive. High-quality education is a critical part of that ambition, and our role in developing new school campuses will help meet the growing needs of our communities. Through this partnership with Nord Anglia, students in Dubai will gain access to a future-designed learning experience that fosters innovation, creativity and global citizenship.”
