UAE: New schools and nurseries to open in Abu Dhabi; fees, location revealed

Dubai: Parents across Abu Dhabi now have significantly more choice for their children's education, from pre-school to primary years. The Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) has announced the licensing of seven new private nurseries and two new private schools, adding a total of 4,539 student seats across the Emirate.

The new additions, which are distributed across Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and Al Dhafra, increase the total number of private educational institutions operating under ADEK's oversight. The Emirate now boasts a total of 233 private nurseries and 220 private schools.

This expansion directly addresses the growing demand for quality early childhood and primary education as Abu Dhabi's population continues to rise.

The breakdown of the new capacity additions is as follows:

7 new private nurseries

  • Chubby Cheeks Nursery, Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, Dh43,500

By consistently expanding the quantity and variety of educational institutions, Abu Dhabi ensures that a diverse, high-quality learning experience is available to all its residents. This commitment to educational infrastructure is a core pillar of the government's strategy for economic diversification and human capital development.
