International School Curriculum in Dubai

Dubai

International K-12 education has seen remarkable growth in Dubai, offering diverse curricula to cater to the varied needs of expatriate and local students. The International Baccalaureate (IB) is among the most popular, encompassing the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP). The IB is renowned for its rigorous academic standards and holistic approach to education. Many schools also provide the British National Curriculum, which includes the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), Key Stages 1-4, IGCSEs, and A-levels. Additionally, the American curriculum, with US Common Core/AERO and Advanced Placement (AP) courses, is widely available. Canadian and Australian schools, though fewer in number, also have a presence in Dubai. These curricula serve students from early childhood through high school, ensuring a well-rounded and comprehensive educational experience. Major job opportunities are concentrated in Dubai due to its large expatriate population and status as a global business hub. Besides international schools, there are private schools, Montessori schools, and public school international departments that offer international programs, often in English. However, these tend to be less regulated and resourced compared to international schools, with a predominantly local student body. Explore the vast array of international school jobs in Dubai and contribute to the vibrant educational landscape in this cosmopolitan city.

International School Salaries in Dubai

Dubai

Working at an international school in Dubai is a highly rewarding experience. Typically, a professional teaching license, QTS, PGCE, or similar credential is required for employment in Dubai's international schools. However, this requirement may be more flexible for positions in public school international departments or private colleges. In addition to teaching roles, there are numerous opportunities for non-teaching positions such as librarians, teaching assistants, speech-language therapists, and educational technology specialists, all of which are essential in enhancing the overall educational experience. Special education is a growing field in Dubai, with an increasing number of international schools offering services for students with special educational needs (SEN). This includes roles for SEN teachers and Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs) who provide tailored educational support. Career advancement opportunities in Dubai are abundant, with positions like Head of Department (HOD), Principal, and regional director available for experienced educators. The competitive international school market in Dubai continually seeks talented educators capable of leading and innovating. Professional development programs are commonly provided to assist staff in advancing their careers. The salary and benefits packages offered by international schools in Dubai are highly competitive, often surpassing those available in the public education system. In addition to attractive salaries, teachers may receive resettlement allowances, free education for their dependent children, accommodation, and other benefits. The classrooms and facilities in Dubai's international schools are generally of a higher standard compared to public schools, making it a desirable place for educators.
