If you’re considering a UK-based education for your child, then make a note in your diary about the British Boarding Schools Show 2020.
Back in Dubai for the eighth year, the educational show is taking place on Friday March 13 and Saturday March 14 at the Sheraton Hotel, Mall of the Emirates.
Parents in Abu Dhabi can attend the fair on Sunday March 15 at the Shangri-La Hotel.
The exhibition brings together representatives (admissions directors and heads) from 30 of the most prestigious boarding schools from England, Scotland and Wales.
Mums, dads and students can get educational advice and discover a world of information about what awaits their kiddos should they decide to embark on a boarding school experience.
David Wellesley Wesley, founder of The British Schools Show said: “This is a platform for parents to interact with leading educational specialists from the UK who will shape the lessons and school environment. It is an opportunity for them to engage and learn more about the options they have for their children so parents can make a truly informed decision.”
A number of seminars are being held with a focus on a variety of topics from whether boarding is the right decision to choosing an IB or A Level programme.
Some of the boarding schools lined up to take part are Charterhouse, Clayesmore School and Millfield from England as well as leading Scottish school, Fettes College.
Registration is free, but essential.
