About us

Dubai Modern Education School, is a private co-educational and family-oriented school located in the Al Mizhar 1 and serves students from Dubai and the surrounding Emirates. Founded in 1996,

DMES founders envisioned the establishment of a locally and internationally-recognized institution, which evolved into a guiding statement for the school at present: “Empowering learners to contribute to the global community through innovation, exploration, and citizenship.”

What distinguishes DMES from other schools across Dubai is that it houses two schools – US School and MOE School, which offers US California State Curriculum (Kindergarten to Grade 12) and UAE Ministry of Education Curriculum (Grades 1 to 12), respectively. As a family-oriented and inclusive school, DMES commits to high-quality and sustainable education for its academically and culturally-diverse student population.
