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 .
