Hi Maya,

we had applied to schools in Feb as some friends had warned us about the long wait lists here.
Hope your daughter gets admission soon...i know how nerve-wrecking the entire process can be.

all the best

Hello

We are moving out later in the year and also had a nightmare trying to find a school for my daughter as we only applied in May. Needless to say we were on countless waiting lists to no avail. The only school who were at all helpful and who then ended up offering us a place was DESS (Dubai English Speaking School). Unfortunately not an ideal location as its just off Oud Metha Road. But it seems a lovely, friendly, buzzy school and came highly recommended by the people at what will be my son's nursery and my husband's work colleagues. I wonder whether one of the reasons we were lucky with DESS is because they have 4 classes in each year.

Might be worth a look if you have not yet done so - providing the journey is not off putting. We'll be doing it from Al Safa/Jumeirah area most likely.

Best of luck.
