UAE School Advisory & Placements

Strategic guidance for families navigating high-quality education in the UAE

With an ever-expanding landscape of private schools offering the IB, A-Levels, and American curriculum, choosing the right school in the UAE can be both exciting and overwhelming. Each curriculum presents its own strengths — but success lies in selecting the one that aligns with your child’s abilities, aspirations, and long-term goals.

XellED supports families in making well-informed, confident decisions — whether they are new to the UAE, shifting between curricula, or seeking a better fit for their child.

What Defines the Approach

Aptitude & Academic Benchmarking

Each journey begins with an aptitude test and academic review to understand where the child is — and what environments will help them grow. This ensures every recommendation is grounded in real insight, not assumption.

Curriculum & School Matching

Guidance on selecting the right curriculum — IB, A-Level, or American — followed by a shortlist of schools that match your child’s profile and your family’s priorities, including teaching style, location, pace, culture, and values.

Structured Admissions Support

Step-by-step guidance through the application process — including timelines, assessments, documentation, and preparation for interviews or trial days where applicable.

Confident Transitions

Whether entering at key points or mid-year, the focus remains on ensuring a smooth, well-supported transition — with continuity in learning and stability in environment.
