Independent Schools Show, Dubai 2026

Saturday 14th March 2026 | 09:30 - 14:30 - Sheraton Hotel, Mall of the Emirates, Dubai

We're returning to Dubai's to showcase leading schools and renowned UK boarding schools, giving parents a unique opportunity to explore the best education options for their children - all in one place.

As an expat parent in Dubai you’re navigating unfamiliar systems, high fees, competitive admissions and long-term decisions, often without the networks or local knowledge you’d rely on back home. British, IB, international, boarding or day? Stay in Dubai or look to the UK? And how do today’s choices affect university options later on?

At this exclusive event, you'll have the chance to:

• Compare top Dubai schools and prestigious UK boarding schools side by side.
• Engage directly with school representatives to ask questions and understand how each school can meet your child’s educational needs.
• Discover each school’s unique approach, from curriculum offerings to extracurricular activities, ensuring the best fit for your child.
• Gain valuable insights to make informed decisions about your child’s future, whether you’re considering local options or looking abroad.

This is your chance to explore the best pathways for your child's education, all within a trusted and well-established platform.
