Indian curriculum options available for students in Dubai

Indian families residing in Dubai have access to several educational options that follow Indian curricula, facilitating easier transitions for students planning to return to India for higher education.

According to the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is the most prominent option, with a large number of schools offering this curriculum and preparing students for Class 10 and 12 board examinations.

Other available options include the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) and the Indian School Certificate (ISC) through CISCE-affiliated schools, though these are less common than CBSE. Additionally, schools following the Kerala State Board (KSB) curriculum are available, providing a specific option for families from Kerala.
