What are the most commonly cited reasons expat families prefer Dubai schools over Abu Dhabi
Expat families frequently cite Dubai's unparalleled variety of international curricula as a primary draw. The city offers a vast selection of British, IB, American, Indian, and other boards, often with multiple school options per curriculum. This breadth makes it easier for families, especially those from Europe or specific global systems, to find continuity for their children's education. In contrast, while Abu Dhabi has excellent schools, the range can be more limited, leading many to prefer Dubai's one-stop-shop approach for educational diversity and ease of choice.
