- Fees updated (was 25,200-53,400 for 2007-2008)
18 October 2007
- Emirates International School (EIS) has good mix of international students with courses leading to the highly regarded IB qualification.
- A girls only section opened in 2005.
- EIS is one of the Al Habtoor Group companies (a well-known family in Dubai with significant business interests in the Gulf region).
- Also called Emirates International Private School, or Emirates International School Umm Suqeim.
- Location often given as Jumeira / Jumeirah even though school is in Umm Suqiem (the school's marketing department presumably think Jumeirah sounds better).
- Fees information for 2007-2008 (AED 21,000-44,500 for 2006-2007).
- Another EIS school opened in Emirates Hills - The Meadows in September 2005. See Emirates International School Meadows for more information.
- Previous domain name www.eischool.com has been given up and is not related to Emirates International School anymore (spammers have it now), www.eisschool.com is not EIS website either. New website at www.eischools.ae.
- There are the usual difficulties with trying to provide a good education in a profit making institution - parents complain fees are too high, teachers complain they work too hard and salaries are too low, management thinks teachers don't work hard enough and don't understand why parents are unhappy with the quality education their offspring are receiving for a bargain price .... and so on.
