How this list is ordered By KHDA inspection rating first, then by mid-range annual fee, cheapest first within each rating band. Nothing else is weighted, and no school can pay for a position. Where two schools share a rating and a similar fee, they are ordered alphabetically - not by any judgement of ours.
Ratings come from the KHDA DSIB 2023-24 inspection cycle, the most recent completed round; full inspections were paused for 2024-25 and 2025-26. Every rating here is therefore older than it looks, and that is true of every Dubai school guide. Always read the current report on the official KHDA directory .
