We've prepared a ranking of Abu Dhabi schools for the upcoming academic year

Among our clients are numerous families purchasing apartments in Abu Dhabi for a new chapter in their lives. For them, having quality kindergartens and prestigious schools nearby is essential.

Many choose residences near the Primakov School, which follows the FGOS standards. One client was so pleased with her choice that she shared her experience with us. Here are seven advantages she highlighted.

Why I chose Primakov School for my daughter:

The shared cultural mindset among teachers and students. The academic schedule is familiar, resembling the routine back in Moscow, with class durations and breaks following a similar pattern.

Children can stay at school until 6 PM, not just the younger ones but older students as well, which is rare in the Emirates as I’ve learned.

Catering is available for an extra fee, eliminating the need to bring food containers.

During holidays, the school organizes children’s camps. Additionally, there are paid extracurricular activities such as football, gymnastics, theater, choir, music, guitars, and other musical instruments.

Thematic weeks are regularly organized, covering topics from space to science. Recently, they even brought an entire planetarium to the school.

The school offers not only the Unified State Exam and Basic State Exam but has also become a venue for Cambridge exams. Graduates receive a Russian diploma.

Although the tuition is paid, it is one of the most affordable, around $5,500 per year. In Moscow, Primakov Gymnasium is more expensive.
