With week one done and dusted, schools around the city have now had time to see who has arrived for the new academic year and who has jetted off to cooler climes during the summer months.

So, if you've just arrived or want to change schools, WhichSchoolAdvisor.com has availability in some of Dubai's favourite Affordable schools.

GEMS Founders

Fees: AED 22,000 to AED 29,000

Al Salam Private School
This UK curriculum school with strong SEN provision and consistently good GCSE results remains top of many parents' 'wish-lists.' Although rated Good by the KHDA, a closer look though Al Salam's inspection report shows however, that many indicators are actually Very Good and even Outstanding.
