Coverage
What is in—and out
The directory is curated for useful family planning; it does not claim complete UAE coverage. A record that looks plausible is not enough to influence a recommendation.

We prefer regulator and government sources. School websites are used for admissions and operational detail that regulators do not publish.

What the audit changed
French-curriculum coverage
Reconciled the full current AEFE UAE directory: ten homologated entries across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. Fee and inspection evidence remains field-specific; Le Petit Poucet is directory-only because it does not serve the planner's CM2 reference year.
Abu Dhabi community coverage
Added sourced editorial profiles for Bloom Living and Hudayriyat Island. They are visible for research but excluded from ranking until housing inputs are verified.

Planning eligibility
Dubai College and Jumeirah College remain searchable but no longer appear as primary-age planning matches because they start at Year 7.
Dubai British School Jumeirah Park admissions
Corrected the campus website and removed an Emirates Hills availability grid that had been attributed to Jumeirah Park. Availability now remains unpublished until campus-specific evidence is verified.
Property market signals
Removed generated transaction counts, generated year-on-year growth and the 'real market data' claim; estimates are now visibly labelled.
How to use Nala responsibly
Use Nala to compare scenarios and create a shortlist. Confirm the exact fee, availability, inspection status and admissions terms with the regulator and school before applying.
Treat property figures as directional planning inputs until a registered data source is shown on the specific record. Obtain current transaction evidence, a valuation and professional advice before committing money.
