- Dubai First School (DFS) might also be referred to as First Dubai School (but it's not the first school in Dubai - Al Ahmidiya School is a bit older).
- Website supposed to be at www.dubaifs.com but not available when checked. Nothing at www.dubaifs.ae, www.dubaifirstschool.com, or www.dubaifirstschool.ae. Contact details and other information from KHDA.
- KHDA information has DFS PO Box 1882 but that could be a typo (other information is PO Box 11882)
- School moved to new premises in 1998.
- School is for UAE national students (possibly GCC nationals also accepted).
- Is accredited (or apply for accreditation) by Commission on International Trans-Regional Accreditation (CITA ), a USA school accrediting body.
