New here? Start with these five steps
Most families arrive with the same questions in the same order. This path takes them one at a time, and every step lands on a page with named sources or published prices rather than opinion.
The five steps
Understand where the law stands
Start with what the rules actually say before planning anything else. Our guide gives the answer with every source named and dated.
Can I homeschool my child in the UAE?Choose a curriculum
British, American, Indian or IB: the choice shapes exams, university routes and what moving back home looks like.
The curriculum guideDecide the shape of the week
Many families mix home learning with an online school or with morning sessions at a learning centre. See what each looks like and what it costs.
Browse learning centresCompare online schools
How to weigh one online school against another: ages, curriculum, fees, and what each says about the UAE transfer certificate.
Choosing an online schoolSort out friendships and meetups
The question every parent asks. Where home-educating families in Dubai actually meet, and how to plug in during your first month.
Socialisation and meetups
Looking for parent groups?
We are building a directory of parent communities, and we only list a group after checking that it is public, active, and happy to be listed. A directory that skips those checks would point strangers at private family group chats, so we would rather list slowly than list wrong.
If you run a group that welcomes home-educating families and want it listed, email hello@homeschoolinghub.co. In the meantime, the socialisation guide covers where families actually meet.
