UK Boarding Schools arrive in Dubai to meet hundreds of parents
SAVE THE DATE: THE ESSENTIAL EVENT TO DISCOVER THE PERFECT SCHOOL
On the weekend of 20th and 21st March, The Independent Schools Show takes place at the Sheraton Hotel, Mall of Emirates, Dubai.
Now in our 10th year, the shows have helped thousands of parents select the perfect schools for their children. By bringing Britain’s top independent schools together, under one roof, this unmissable event enables visiting parents to explore the many options available in a single day and make informed choices based on their child’s particular needs.
The list of exhibiting schools include some of the most famous names in education including Cheltenham Ladies College, Marlborough and Wellington, as well as many others and represents the very best in British schooling.
EDUCATION THEATRE AND DISCUSSION AREA: FREE EXPERT ADVICE
As well as the wide variety of preparatory and secondary schools on show, we offer various talks showcasing the many advantages of British education and highlighting its deserved reputation the world over.
HELPING PARENTS FIND THE PERFECT SCHOOL
Visiting parents may have been privately educated or are new to the system and seek this opportunity for the first time for their children. Whatever the case, the show is the chance to explore the variety of options the independent boarding sector offers.
NEW FOR 2015: BRAND NEW WEBSITE & ONLINE SEARCH TOOL FOR PARENTS

We can now help visiting parents focus their search online before they visit the show, thanks to our new and improved website. It incorporates a unique online selection tool, specifically designed to help parents tailor their search using a range of criteria. Please visit the website at www.schoolsshow.com
QUOTES
What the schools say:
'The business done over the two days of the show is key to how and why it is increasingly the shop floor for us schools. Of course it is an opportunity to recruit good pupils (and parents), but quite apart from this – and at least as important – is the fact that it’s the best forum by a country mile for the exchange of ideas and gaining an understanding of each other in whichever part of the sector we work'
Director of Admissions, Marlborough College
What parents say:
"Everyone had been telling us something different. We heard about the schools show so we visited for the day, where we spoke with schools we knew of as well as those we didn't. Thanks to the experience we are now much clearer and feel more confident in making this huge emotional and financial decision".
The Harris Family
David Wellesley Wesley, Show Director and Founder:
“The show presents parents like me with the opportunity to discover how the different schools work, discuss bursaries and shortlist schools. For many parents, visiting the Show has become a vital element to their search. ”
