Amity English School Dubai (AESD)
A new British international primary in Al Qusais, opened 2024, taking children from FS1 to Year 6.
In brief
Amity English School Dubai opened in Al Qusais in September 2024 and currently teaches from FS1 to Year 7, ages 3–12, along a British international pathway. Samuel Holliday took over as principal in July 2025, bringing more than 20 years of experience leading schools in Dubai and the UK. Annual fees run from AED 19,200 in the foundation stage to 23,250 in Year 7, rising in steps at Year 2 and Year 5.
The school is too new to hold a KHDA inspection rating. Early parent impressions are positive: one parent praised the individual attention children receive and the cooperativeness of the admissions and reception staff, and another described welcoming staff and a safe, nurturing environment. Both accounts come from families new to the school.

Reviews
- Amity English School Dubai opened in September 2024 and has only just started enrolling families, so the available parent reviews are very few.
- The two reviews that exist are positive, both from parents new to the school. One praised individual attention and the cooperativeness of the admissions and reception staff. Another said the staff was welcoming and the environment safe and nurturing.
- There is no KHDA inspection rating yet. A parent survey for the school has too few responses to publish.
- No parent, expat, or community signal exists on this campus.
Positives
- Early parent impressions. The handful of parents posting so far flag individual attention to children and helpful admissions and reception staff
Considerations
- Volume of feedback. Too few reviews to draw any pattern; school opened in September 2024
