Dubai schools claim up to 90% reenrolments for next academic year

Some schools in Dubai claim up to 90 per cent reenrolments for the next school year as several families expressed interest in continuing with their child’s existing school.

Institutions also indicate an optimistic uptake in new registrations for the next academic year as the application process of new admissions is under way.

Lisa Johnson, principal, American Academy for Girls said: “At this time, we have 92 per cent of our students listed for re-registration, but this is still ongoing. Only two families have indicated they are not returning for the next academic year. Both the families are transferring their kids to other Taaleem schools closer to home.”

Echoing similar thoughts, Sarah Hollingworth, vice-principal at GEMS Wellington Academy - Silicon Oasis, opined: “Reenrolments for the next academic year are very strong with up to 90 per cent of our families continuing at WSO for the next academic year.”

“We are very much looking forward to welcoming new joiners to WSO for the academic year 2023-24. We have had a positive surge in registration with nearly 350 children already registered to join our community in September,” she added.
