Emirates National Schools Dubai

Emirates National Schools (ENS) Dubai is the sixth branch of the ENS Group, a leading UAE educational network well-established in Abu Dhabi. The Dubai campus opened in September 2021 in Al Khawaneej, making it one of the newer additions to Dubai's school landscape. ENS Dubai is primarily oriented towards Emirati students, though it also welcomes students of other nationalities, reflecting the ENS vision of 'Preparing future leaders through innovation in education and treasuring of cultural heritage.' The school follows a combined US and IB-influenced curriculum framework, starting from KG1 and currently operating through Grade 8 (2024-25), with plans to expand to a full K-12 school with capacity for 3,000 students. ENS Dubai received an 'Acceptable' KHDA rating — expected for a young school still growing into its full structure. Annual fees range from AED 23,330 to AED 36,880, placing it in the mid-range bracket. Led by Principal Mr Andreas Swoboda, the school emphasises Arabic language, Islamic values, and Emirati cultural heritage alongside a modern academic curriculum. The school is owned and operated by ENS — Emirates National Schools, whose Chairman is HE Ahmed Muhammed Sultan Al Dhaheri.
