Jebel Ali School

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Jebel Ali School, one of Dubai’s oldest, happiest, and most successful schools. We first opened our doors in September 1977 to educate the children of expatriate workers helping build Jebel Ali Port. From that small beginning on a warm September day, our school has grown into the vibrant and thriving community it is today. In 2016, we moved to our new, purpose-built campus in Damac Hills, where Jebel Ali School continues to honor its rich history while looking forward to Dubai and the UAE’s exciting future.

Mr. Simon Jodrell, Principal

We are proud of our reputation for combining care, happiness, and well-being with strong academic achievement. From Foundation Stage to Year 13, every student experiences our unique ethos, heritage, and values. We strive to ensure that all students receive a high-quality education and have clear pathways to succeed. Our school is a place built on care, respect, and support, where students not only achieve academically but also feel happy, confident, and ready to thrive.

Jebel Ali School is known for being a close-knit, inclusive community that celebrates individuality. Achievements in music, art, sports, and academics are all equally valued. Our students leave school equipped with confidence, strong social skills, and the resilience and adaptability they need to succeed in the modern world.

At the heart of everything we do is our mission: to create a community where students never stop believing that better is always possible.

Belong to a caring and inclusive community.

Believe in a culture of high aspirations and excellence.

Become responsible and empowered individuals.

We take pride in the relationships we build and the supportive environment we create. I look forward to welcoming you to Jebel Ali School so you can experience what we call the “JAS Magic.”
