IB schools in Dubai
Compare the on-campus IB routes documented for each included school. Read the named programme, phase and campus together: an IB Diploma option does not establish a Primary Years or Middle Years programme.
5 included schools · 9 profiles in the Dubai collection
This is a selected comparison, not every IB school in Dubai or a ranking of teaching quality. Only documented on-campus routes with a dated source are included. A route applies to its listed phases; school-wide age ranges do not establish entry eligibility.
Collection guidance reviewed . Pathway source checks: . Source review dates describe the recorded evidence, not a guarantee that places or fees remain available.

Check the particular IB programme
The IB has four distinct programmes: Primary Years, Middle Years, Diploma and Career-related. Schools can offer one or more programmes. The table preserves each campus’s documented route rather than treating an IB label as a whole-school curriculum.
For senior entry, distinguish the full Diploma from individual IB courses and the Career-related Programme. Ask about the current subject combination, language choices, assessment requirements and the transition from your child’s previous curriculum. The source notes below describe provision; they do not confirm an available place.
