Dubai to Open One of the World’s Most Expensive Schools in 2025

Dubai is set to welcome one of the world’s most prestigious and expensive educational institutions, the GEMS School of Research and Innovation (SRI), slated to open in Dubai Sports City in August 2025. The school promises an unparalleled blend of world-class facilities, innovative teaching, and small class sizes to ensure personalised learning.

The school will follow the English National Curriculum, with class sizes capped at 16 students in the early years and 20 in later grades. Annual fees range from Dh116,000 to Dh206,000, positioning it as a premium option in Dubai's education sector. The campus spans 47,600 square metres, featuring state-of-the-art facilities, including an elevated football field that doubles as a helipad, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, and advanced arts and music spaces.

Students will benefit from diverse academic, sports, and arts programmes, as well as technology integration tailored to enhance learning. The school will house a Disruption Lab and Research Centre, fostering entrepreneurial and innovative thinking. Partnerships with industry leaders and global institutions will provide students with hands-on learning experiences and pathways to top universities and careers.

Designed as a global centre for educational research, the school aims to push the boundaries of traditional education, blending robotics, AI, and cutting-edge technology with values-driven teaching. Its leadership team emphasises the recruitment of highly skilled educators, primarily from the UK, to deliver a curriculum that challenges and inspires.
