Hello – There’s a strong possibility that my husband will be getting a new job and we will be relocated to Dubai. I have been on many different websites regarding life in Dubai. One thing I saw on-line is that kids attend school on Sundays. I also read how the weekend in many Middle East countries is Thursday and Friday. I just wanted to ask someone who lives in Dubai if this is the case for all schools for younger children (my eldest daughter is 5 and youngest just turned 2). We have lived the expat life for quite some time in other countries and have had to adjust to different cultures but sending my kids to school on Sunday seems difficult to adjust to especially when my husband will be working 9am – 9pm Mon – Fri for the first year so he will hardly get to see our girls. Can you please provide some tips on this and if all schools require the children to attend school Sunday – Thurs in Dubai? If this deal comes off for my husband we will move at the end of March of this year and with all the waiting lists, I am guessing my eldest daughter would not start school until September?? Thank you so much for any help you can provide. Read more
I am due to relocate to Dubai next August, but still all the paper work has not been completed so I am really concerned about finding school places for my 3 years boy who should go into FS1 this September and I am even slightly concerned about his sister who will start FS1 the following year. Is it still possible to find a good school for my son and daughter as the schools will start next September and I will not arrive till late August? Read more
