The school is scheduled to open in September of 2005 and will offer primary and secondary education based on the very best practices of the National Curriculum of England and Wales. It is intended that as the school develops, the curriculum provision will include the International Baccalaureate Diploma programme. Details of the admissions' policy are available by contacting the Jumeirah branch of JESS.
"Emaar's mandate is to not only build world class lifestyle communities, but also to assist in the development of enduring public institutions of learning within our master-planned projects," said Sanjay Kumar, Senior Development Manager, Emaar Properties. "Schools embody community values and are central to the life and learning of the entire community. They help build well-educated citizens," he said.
JESS's reputation spans nearly 30 years in Dubai and matches the uniqueness of the Ranches community, which is now globally recognised as a fine example of ultra modern lifestyle merged with the timeless desert.
The school will form part of the first phase of the Arabian Ranches development, which features the region's first desert golf course a state-of-the-art clubhouse, spa and top class retail facilities.
Complementing these facilities will be a state-of-the-art polo ground, a full-service equestrian centre and air-conditioned stabling for horses, together with facilities and trainers for various equine sports.
