At JESS Dubai (Jumeirah English Speaking School) we believe that the capacity for critical and creative thinking is a uniquely human attribute. We are preparing every student from our Primary school to our Secondary school with the skills for a future where they will be required to think first, use information second and always remember that information is no substitute for imagination, intuition and pure thought.
As one of the top British schools in Dubai, we look to the future of our students with great excitement. We hope that we may be able to welcome your child to this community - so that we can continue to share in that excitement of learning, and play an active role in shaping their futures, that of Dubai and of this world.
At JESS, culture is everything and two words encapsulate this culture – aspiration and nurture. These words form the heartbeat of our school. Every child will find their place at JESS and every child will be the best they can be, plus more.
We are a dynamic, forward-thinking school, built on foundations of high standards and expectations. As one of the longest-standing not-for-profit schools in Dubai, we have a history and a proven track record. Every student, teacher and member of our community take on a responsibility when joining JESS to maintain and cultivate the very special culture that exists inside our walls. You will find this culture embodied in every pocket of our school, in the way JESS students think, feel and act, whether aged 3 or 18.
JESS produces adaptable, versatile, future-ready young people who have the attributes and thinking skills to embrace the challenges presented by a constantly changing world. The academic outcomes our students achieve are remarkable and provide a Launchpad for countless opportunities beyond the school gates.
In many ways, JESS reflects the country we live in. We are fully committed to the UAE National Agenda and are an inclusive, tolerant and welcoming school community with students from over 70 different nationalities sharing a common purpose. People are our key focus. While producing 21st-century thinkers and independent learners, it is the skills that are difficult to measure that count. Compassion, empathy, humility, civic-mindedness and the way we treat each other every day are at the core of our culture. These foster a symbiotic relationship whereby our students and teachers challenge and inspire each other. Positive relationships coupled with purpose and ambition create an irresistible formula.
A student’s world at JESS stretches well beyond the classroom. Whether it be in the sporting arena, performing on the stage, exploring their creativity or contributing to the local and global community, the same standards and expectations exist which promote physical, emotional, personal and social development as well as intellectual growth.
At JESS relationships are key, ambition is tangible and the opportunities are endless. Every day, every member of our community is inspired and motivated to ‘Make A Difference’.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
My daughter is thoroughly enjoying her time at Jess. We recently moved her from another IB school and the quality of learning and staff is way better. There are several extra curricular activities for students to choose from. Kudos to the management and the team for excellent work.

As a resident of Arabian Ranches, i can state without a doubt that the best part about living in this community is JESS. My daughter loves it here, she gets to walk to school and has made many life-long friends. JESS has a diverse expat population of students and faculty too. Wonderful institution! I look forward to every parent-teacher meeting.

Rated outstanding by the KHDA, this is truly an incredible institution. Although both my daughters have long graduated, their academic excellence is bar none, especially for expats living in Jumeirah! Highly recommend them!

The drive, ambition and effort that have enabled JESS to excel as a school is reflected daily in our students approach to all spheres of school life. In every corner of the campus you will witness a supportive, challenging and stimulating environment underpinned by high expectations and equally high standards.

The School's pastoral care programme pays close attention to the well-being and personal development of each individual student. At JESS students take pride in the tradition and reputation of the School for pursuing the highest standards.

Choosing Jumeirah English Speaking School for our 2 teenage boys was easy. Besides the convenience of location, they also are exceptionally well run. The faculty of teachers on duty + the curriculum + after school activities make JESS arguably one of the best schools in Dubai, in my opinion.

JESS is an intellectually stimulating environment for your child. The teachers are inspiring and gifted, most with degrees. We live in Motor City and JESS being at the Arabian Ranches is only a 5 min drive and has ample parking space, unlike some schools where you’d have to sit and wait in a long queue of cars. As a parent, we admire their balanced approach of academics, athletics and extra-curricular activities. A very well-rounded school.
