- Dubai MHS moved to new premises with KHDA restrictions imposed regarding ongoing construction work and no fees increase until school completed to their satisfaction.

Dubai Modern High School moves to new premises starting Sunday 03 May 2009 but the KHDA says fees cannot be increased as the new school is not ready yet. Dubai MHS says they have a building completion certificate according to press reports 01 May 2009.
16 April 2009
Dubai MHS was reported to be moving to new premises for 26 April 2009 according to a circular sent by the school to parents, but the circular was withdrawn shortly after. The landlord of the current premises has said the school must leave by 30 April 2009 according to the same circular.
18 March 2009
Dubai MHS considered staying in Al Wasl, but still with a large fees increase. The KHDA told GEMS that if they stayed, they would not be allowed to implement the large hike, so the MHS move to Nad Al Sheba will happen, along with the original fees increase. Apparently by April 2009 when the new school year starts.
23 January 2009
New fees structure for the Dubai Modern High School (DHMS), reported in the Gulf News. Some substantial increases, reportedly approved by the KHDA on condition that there are no further increases for the following 3 years, and parents who find it difficult to pay the new fees are given help by GEMS to find a suitable alternative. All amounts in the table are in UAE dirhams. Amounts not confirmed with DMHS. Update: One of the GEMS Group managers was discussing the fees increase live on the radio on 28 January 2009 - see the DMHS Dubai Eye summary in the forum.

12 September 2008
Unclear what fees are for 2008-2009, DMHS website still has 2007-2008 information. KHDA information is that DHMS applied for 98.65% increase in fees. As the MHS had already had a 16% increase for 2007-2008, there shouldn't be any for 2008-2009 but KHDA information is unclear about increase.
