I'm moving to Dubai next year and there seems to be a lot of debate about which schools are worth it - some sound great but then they get terrible reviews. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the Westminster School and the Winchester School - both GEMS group schools - as there seems to be virtually nothing written on other forums about them, which is unusual for Dubai expats! Is this a good sign or a bad sign? Any insights welcome. Thanks!
The GEMS group has some award-winning schools in Dubai, but others get very negative reviews from parents. The best thing to do is to go and have a look yourself, talk to teachers, and note things like class sizes, teacher to student ratio, number of expat students (if that matters to you), and so on.
Have a look at our International Schools in Dubai page for a list of schools to visit.
