Hi! Louise, I recently heard that schooling is more expensive in Abu Dhabi.  Can you please confirm if its true as this would effect our decision to relocate there?

Hi! No, this is not necessarily the case – it depends which school your child attends.  I have had a look at a few of the schools such as British School Al Khubairat, Al Yasmina and Pearl and when you compare them with schools in Dubai such as Wellington International there is a minimum difference.  If you compare them with the non-profit schools such as Dubai English Speaking School and Jumeirah English Speaking School then there is a difference of between AED2,000 and AED1,100 a term with the Dubai schools being cheaper.
