Beaconhouse Group, one of the world’s largest private school networks, has already taken up operation of two nurseries in Dubai and plans are underway to build and operate K-12 schools.
Speaking exclusively with Khaleej Times, Danial Kasuri, Executive Director & Mena Region Head for Beaconhouse said: “We are looking to acquire existing schools with 400 to 500 students and develop the school before creating our own purpose-built school.”
Beaconhouse has previously worked with the Abu Dhabi Education Council (Adec) as part of the regulator’s private-public partnership (PPP) project.
“We intend to have a large physical presence in the Middle East and by next year we would have acquired land or an existing school in the UAE, We would start with a British curriculum school before introducing the International Baccalaureate (IB) syllabi,” said Kasuri.
In 2009, the group acquired the Khaleej nursery in Sharjah and Palms Nursery in Dubai. Apart from these nurseries, the group also has two schools in Oman. One more school is scheduled to open next year as part of the group’s expansion plan.
Globally, the Beaconhouse Group works in nine countries and provides education to more than 241,000 students. It is ranked among some of the largest private school networks in the world and the group has continued to grow into a global network of private schools, institutes, and universities, imparting distinctive and meaningful education to students from pre-school to post-graduation.
More than 100,000 students study at the group’s flagship network, the Beaconhouse School System, in Pakistan as well as overseas, while the remaining are largely enrolled at The Educators, a parallel school network operated by the group with over 141,000 students.
