Send us a textSearching for the right school in Dubai feels like navigating a labyrinth with high stakes and no map. As Marion and Ismail from Edways explain in this revealing conversation, families face an overwhelming array of options across different curricula, quality standards, and admissions timelines—all while making a decision that ranks among life's most important."We are very lucky to have lots and lots of options, but it's hard to navigate," they explain, highlighting how parents typically cobble together information from school websites, listing platforms, regulators, and parent groups without ever gaining a comprehensive understanding of their choices. The emotional weight of this decision further complicates the process, transforming it from a purely rational exercise into one fraught with anxiety and uncertainty.From the schools' perspective, post-COVID application surges have stretched admissions teams to their limits, resulting in longer response times and challenges in providing consistent service. With most Dubai schools charging a 500 AED application fee, families risk wasting both money and opportunities when applying without proper guidance or real-time availability information.Edways emerged from this challenge, offering a free concierge service that creates personalized school shortlists based on detailed family profiles—covering everything from curriculum preferences and location requirements to budget constraints and sporting interests. The platform streamlines the entire process from tour booking and application submission to assessment scheduling and enrollment follow-up, allowing parents to focus on decision-making rather than paperwork.Perhaps most surprisingly, two-thirds of Edways users are families already living in Dubai, challenging the assumption that such services primarily benefit newcomers. This statistic reveals the ongoing need for transparency in a market where new schools continually emerge and families sometimes move between multiple institutions seeking the perfect fit.Ready to transform your school search from overwhelming to empowering?
