In Brief
Ash Mount School Dubai is a new IB continuum school opening in Mudon in August 2026, backed by the Interstar group that operates Outstanding-rated Victory Heights Primary School. The school offers full IB pathways from Pre-KG to Grade 12 with mid-range fees and purpose-built facilities designed for inquiry-based learning.
Founded by Interstar Advisory Services, Ash Mount School brings the educational expertise behind KHDA Outstanding-rated Victory Heights Primary School to Dubailand. The school opens with Pre-KG to Grade 8 in 2026, expanding to Grade 12 thereafter, under founding principal Abigail Fishbourne. Academic design comes from IB expert Dr. Shalini Advani, positioning the school as a full IB continuum institution offering Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme, Diploma Programme, and the less common Career-related Programme with BTEC qualifications.
The purpose-built Mudon campus emphasizes sustainability and flexible learning spaces over flashy facilities, with inquiry-based classrooms, collaboration areas, and planned competition-standard sports facilities including swimming pools and football fields. Located approximately 10 minutes from Arabian Ranches, the school targets local families seeking IB education at accessible fees - Grade 1-8 fees start around AED 65,000-75,000 annually. As a pre-opening school, Ash Mount offers founding family benefits but lacks the established track record of Dubai's tier-one IB schools, making it an interesting option for families willing to join a new institution with strong backing.
