Education Consulting: Schools Beyond Dubai
Find the perfect international school for your children in Bali, Thailand, Portugal, Georgia, or Malaysia.
International Schools After Dubai
For families with school-age children, education is often the deciding factor in any relocation decision. Dubai international schools are among the most expensive in the world, with annual fees ranging from AED 40,000 to over AED 100,000 per child. The good news: every one of our five destination countries offers accredited international schools following IB, British, American, or Australian curricula — at 40-70% lower fees.
Our education consulting service goes beyond simple school recommendations. We assess your children current academic level, learning style, and extracurricular interests to match them with schools that will maximize their potential. We arrange school visits, handle enrollment paperwork, and coordinate transition timing with your relocation schedule.
What are the best international schools outside Dubai?
Top schools by destination include: Bali — Green School (sustainability-focused, bamboo campus), Canggu Community School (affordable community school), Bali Island School (Australian curriculum). Thailand — ISB Bangkok (top-tier IB), NIST, Ruamrudee (American). Portugal — St Julian School Lisbon (British), Carlucci American International. Malaysia — ISKL, Alice Smith School, Garden International. Georgia — British-Georgian Academy, European School. Each offers distinct educational philosophies and curricula to match different family priorities.

How do I transfer my child from a Dubai school?
The transfer process typically involves: obtaining official transcripts and leaving certificates from your Dubai school, having these apostilled or attested if required by the destination country, submitting applications to target schools (we recommend applying to 2-3 schools), completing admissions assessments (usually English and math), and coordinating start dates with your relocation timeline. Most international schools have rolling admissions, but top schools fill quickly — we recommend starting the application process 3-6 months before your planned move date.
