We advised investors on the planning and approval of International Baccalaureate (IB) schools in Dubai. Our role involved structuring IB-aligned academic plans, preparing regulator-ready documentation, and managing the approval process with the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA). We supported clients through regulator interactions, responded to academic and operational queries, and ensured alignment between the IB framework and local requirements, enabling a smooth and timely approval process. >Our engagements typically begin with feasibility studies, demographic analysis, curriculum positioning, fee structuring, and identification of suitable land parcels in line with planning regulations.

We prepare detailed academic plans and coordinate closely with regulatory authorities such as KHDA, ADEK, SPEA, and the Ministry of Education to secure initial approvals and licenses.

Our role also includes liaising with architects, planners, and project teams to ensure compliance with authority guidelines on built-up area, open space ratios, and operational requirements.

Through this structured approach, we enable investors to establish compliant, market-aligned schools with a clear roadmap for development and long-term sustainability.
