Jebel Ali School is an evolution of Jebel Ali Primary School which was originally built to provide education for the children of expatriate workers involved in the construction of the largest man-made port in the world. It opened its doors on September 22, 1977 and has since seen a varied and exciting life. When the port construction project was complete, the village was handed over to the Government of Dubai, but Jebel Ali Primary School remained under the control of its Board of Governors. The school’s independent and non-pro–t status was cemented in 1986 by obtaining a Decree from His Highness Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Ruler of Dubai. This was a major landmark in the school’s history. The school evolved into an entirely British Curriculum establishment but never lost its desire to cater for children of all nationalities and abilities. Its multicultural and cosmopolitan pro–le is one of its most attractive features to this day. In September 2016, Jebel Ali School will launch its new campus in Akoya, continuing the legacy of Jebel Ali Primary School, not only in this signi–cant expansion of our facilities – enabling us to foster our pupils’ growth from Foundation Stage through to Sixth Form – but also in transforming our learning environment.
