Al Shohub Private School

What Al Shohub Private School does

Al Shohub Private School is a British curriculum primary school located in Khalifa City A, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, operating continuously since 1999. The school delivers the English National Curriculum combined with UAE Ministry of Education requirements to approximately 600 students across two stages: the Early Years Foundation Stage (Nursery/FS1 through FS2, ages 3-5) and Primary (Years 1-6, ages 5-11), organized into Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Curriculum delivery uses the Read, Write, Inc. phonics program with UK-based Ruth Miskin Training consultants, and assessment encompasses formative observation, summative testing, UK SATs in Years 2 and 6, and phonics screening in Year 1. The school is led by Principal Helen Morris with a senior team including Assistant Principal Eadaoin Hickey, Vice Principal Suzanne Sumner, and a dedicated Inclusion Department supporting students of determination, two full-time nurses, a full-time social worker, and a school counselor. Facilities include nine state-of-the-art spaces such as science labs, art suites, and sports areas.

The school is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aldar Education, which is in turn part of Aldar Properties PJSC, and has been operating within the Aldar Education family of schools since 2025. Revenue is generated primarily through tiered annual tuition fees (27,840 AED for FS1-Year 1 and 33,420 AED for Year 2-6), collected termly in three installments, with supplementary streams from 2,000 AED registration/re-registration fees, 5,000 AED annual bus transportation via Emirates Transport, catering by Food Nation (via PayMint platform), and uniform sales at Magrudy's Store. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the Aldar Education parent portal, daily in-person school tours, and a 4% referral discount plus tiered sibling rebates. The school holds an ADEK "Good" rating, PCI-DSS payment certification, and is a founding member of TASS.

The go-to-market is geographically constrained to a single Abu Dhabi catchment with approximately 600 active family customers and 62 employees. Marketing channels span Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, a website blog, weekly Friday newsletters, and an active parent association (ASPA). Beyond the core curriculum, the school operates extra-curricular activities in music, sport, arts, and STEM (including a 2025 Future Space Engineers Summer Camp with the UAE Space Agency), and offers access to the Aldar Academies Scholarship Programme from Year 9 onwards across academic, athletic, creative, and Arabic studies.
