Jumeirah English Speaking School (JESS) - Arabian Ranches

Jumeirah English Speaking School (JESS) is a highly sought-after non-profit institution that has been a staple of the Dubai community since 1975. The Arabian Ranches campus, opened in 2005, provides a seamless educational journey from primary through secondary school. JESS is celebrated for its inclusive atmosphere and its commitment to 'making a difference' in the lives of its students through a balanced approach to academics, sports, and the arts.

The curriculum at JESS Arabian Ranches follows the National Curriculum for England at the primary and secondary levels, leading to IGCSEs, while the Sixth Form students transition to the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP). This hybrid model allows students to benefit from the rigor of the British system early on while gaining the global perspective and critical thinking skills offered by the IB in their final years.

Facilities at the Arabian Ranches campus are world-class, including high-performance sports halls, multiple swimming pools, and specialized design and technology suites. As a non-profit, all revenue is reinvested back into the school, which is evident in their constant facility upgrades and high teacher retention rates. It consistently receives an 'Outstanding' rating from the KHDA.
