One of the phenomena that you come across in international education is the ambitious family. I don’t mean ambitious just for themselves, I mean ambitious for their own children and for the community.
Many private international schools have been started by these families.
In the UAE, there is a strong group of them, many Indian and Lebanese. They usually have over 20 years of dedication to their local communities and some have a lot more than that!
A great friend of ours is Al Diyafah High School in Dubai, who have contracted with BBD for support since our start in 2012. The school offers an English curriculum and the searching inspectors at KHDA have awarded them a ‘Good’ rating for the last few years. The family has opened its first new school in Abu Dhabi recently and, so, the outlook is even better.
If you saw the price they are charging for a good English curriculum education, you would be shocked at how low it is. All those people who write off private education as elitist or profiteering ought to look at what these families provide. Truly stunning.
We are proud of our long association with them all
