Dubai Holding, Nord Anglia Education partner to develop new premium schools

Dubai Holding Investments has partnered with Nord Anglia Education to develop and operate state-of-the-art, premium K-12 schools across the Emirate.

Under the partnership, the first Nord Anglia Education school is scheduled to open in Dubai Production City in the coming few years, following approval from the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA). 

The school, offering a British curriculum, will serve families living in areas, including Jumeirah Golf Estates, Emirates Living, and Tilal Al Ghaf, with plans for further expansions across other flagship Dubai Holding communities in the future.

Students will connect and collaborate with more than 100,000 peers worldwide through Nord Anglia’s Global Campus online learning platform, and take part in exclusive global experiences such as expeditions to Tanzania and Les Martinets in Switzerland, alongside high-quality regional sports and performing arts events. 

The partnership aligns with Dubai Economic Agenda (D33) and Dubai Education Strategy 2033 (E33) to provide students access to world-class education aligned with global standards.

Omar Karim, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Investments, stated that the partnership "marks a significant milestone in our strategy to diversify our investment portfolio into high-value sectors". 

Malek Al Malek, Group Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Asset Management, added that "through this partnership with Nord Anglia, students in Dubai will gain access to a future-designed learning experience that fosters innovation, creativity, and global citizenship".

"Our partnership with Dubai Holding Investments will enable us to create new opportunities for families in Dubai wanting the very best in international education for their children," said Andrew Fitzmaurice, Chief Executive Officer of Nord Anglia Education.
