Dubai South and Bright Capital Investment have signed an agreement to open a British Program school in the area
DUBAI, 26th January 2023 (WAM) – Dubai South has announced the signing of an agreement with Bright Capital Investment, a school operator and investment company that aims to create one of the largest education platforms in the UAE, to lease and manage premium quality and affordable British school in the thriving Dubai South residential area, close to Expo Road and close to Dubai Expo City and various residential areas of Dubai South.
The agreement was signed by Khalifa Al Zafin, Executive Chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation and Dubai South, and Esref Temel, Managing Director of Bright Capital Investment, as well as other executives of both organizations.
The new school, which will follow the British curriculum, will be built on an impressive 250,000 square foot campus with excellent facilities designed for students aged 3 to 18 years. It will accommodate more than 3,000 students from Foundation Stage 1 to Grade 13 and will offer large classrooms, state-of-the-art science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEAM) laboratories and more. School fees will be capped at a certain rate so parents can give their children a first-class education with flexible payment plans, as well as offering exclusive discounted rates to founding family members.
Other facilities at the school include a 25m standard competition pool; a full football field; multifunctional sports halls for basketball, netball, badminton, gymnastics; wide open green spaces for student outdoor recreation, picnics and other activities; and other exclusive amenities and services for students, parents and faculty. The school will be built in phases, starting with preschool and elementary schools, and is scheduled to open to the public for the academic year beginning in September 2024, with enrollment beginning by the end of 2023.
In his comments on the agreement, Al Zafin said: “At Dubai South, our projects always align with the long-term vision of our wise leadership. This partnership will allow us to contribute to the “UAE Century 2071″ and its key objective, which is to develop education with a focus on advanced technology and engineering, in addition to instilling Emirati moral values in future generations. We are delighted to sign this agreement with Bright Capital Investment, a reputable school operator and investment company contributing to the development of the education sector in the UAE and beyond.”
“The new school is part of our promise to provide world-class services and amenities to the residents of Dubai South and the emirate. Given its strategic location in Dubai South in close proximity to key areas, we are confident that parents and the thriving Dubai South community will welcome the new school,” added Al Zafin.
