Frequently asked questions

Who regulates schools in Al Ain, and how is a parent-hired shadow teacher approved?

Al Ain is part of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, so its private schools are regulated by the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) under the same inclusion requirements as the capital. The school approves a parent-hired shadow teacher: usually the teacher's Emirates ID or passport copy, police clearance and qualifications, and often a meeting with the inclusion lead. Ask the school how long its process takes.

Do schools in Al Ain charge for a learning support assistant?

Some Al Ain schools provide their own learning support assistant for an added fee; others expect families to arrange support. A shadow teacher hired through ShadowTeacher UAE is paid directly by you, outside the school's fees. Ask the school for its written policy before you choose.
