About The English College Dubai
The aim of The English College, Dubai is to offer the best elements of the British education system supplemented by modern international educational practice, based upon our students achieving high academic standards, making sound judgements and having clearly defined moral values. We hope to provide a firm foundation for our students to succeed in an ever-changing multicultural world and develop into successful learners, confident individuals and good citizens. We aim to give each child the best level of education possible, not just in academic training, but also in terms of character formation, developing your child's whole personality and awakening new interests, so that when our students leave school, we can expect them to become effective, happy and responsible members of society.
Learning & language support (SEN / EAL)
This school lists some support, but the listing is imported and unverified — confirm it directly with the school.
Why this matters
Special-needs provision at international schools varies widely and is rarely guaranteed by the school itself — and local legal duties differ by country. Confirm what this school provides, in writing, before you commit.

Questions to ask the school
- Is an educational psychologist on staff or available by referral?
- What level of English is required for entry, and what EAL/ESL support is provided for a child still learning English?
- Can you support a child with my child's specific need (e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, autism), and have you done so this year? Ask for concrete examples.
- Is there an additional fee for learning support or EAL — and how much per year?
- Is learning support guaranteed for the full enrolment, or can it be withdrawn later?
