The World School is a possible Edison school planned for Abu Dhabi sometime in the next 10 years according to an article published by Forbes Magazine (USA) about Avenues: The World School in New York, and the CEO of Avenues World Holdings LLC, Chris Whittle, who also founded EdisonLearning (or Edison Schools, or Edison Education, or something).
The report said (referring to the NY school): That $60 million flagship location will be the first of at least 20 such campuses to be built over the next decade in major cities including London, Paris, Beijing, Moscow, Tokyo, Mumbai, São Paulo, Abu Dhabi, Sydney, and Johannesburg, as well as Washington and San Francisco. The Avenues conceit is that all 20 sites -- connected by technology and ethos -- will be part of a single school with one student body and one faculty.
We haven't figured out exactly the relationship between The Avenues and Edison but it sounds like there won't be anything happening in Abu Dhabi for a few years yet.
Further information at www.avenues.org for The Avenues organisation and school, and www.edisonlearning.com for Edison Learning.
GEMS Education in Dubai signed an agreement in January 2007 to develop and/or manage Edison schools in the Middle East. Nothing obvious has happened since then. Unknown whether there is still a connection or not, or if there are any concrete Edison school development plans by GEMS.
