I might be moving to Dubai with my son and he will be going to grade 9. We might have to make the switch during his first term. Can he still get in to some good American school, and can someone also post a list of good American schools? Appreciated.

List of schools in Dubai - filter on US curriculum

http://www.dubaifaqs.com/american-school-of-dubai.php - most would say is the best

Others worth considering

I have never seen any reference to the following which I know to be a reasonable school;

I didn't include it because Choueifat have their own SABIS curriculum, although they might do AP at senior levels. I can't remember ... which is normal for me

Two of my Children went through O & A Levels at Choueifat and both entered University in the UK, so you can actually follow the British or the American system whichever one suits your reqirements.

Yes, if you want a rigorous academic preparation for university, Choueifat is one to consider. But the workload can be tough and make you go cross-eyed ...

Thanks for the list!

Thats not the only think that will make you go crossed eyed.
Choueifat was implicated in bullying accusations which involved sodomy of the victims.
