That's another thread with a guy who's moving out here to teach at the school if I remember right.

It seems like everybody on here is either going there or knows someone going there. After 12 months it will all end in tears, mark my words.

Re: Silicon Oasis - new Gems school
my daughter starts that school in September. KG1.
Was at an induction with the principle the other night. Got to say, the school looks pretty good. On a par with most other schools, it looks as if parking will be a disaster and the drop off area not much better.
Good luck teachers. Remember and enjoy the challenge of living and teaching in a different country..i use the word 'different' loosely

Re: Silicon Oasis - new Gems school
I work in Sharjah at the moment but after I have completed my contract I would be interested in working in Dubai to teach. I have two children and wondered if Dubai schools also offer free tuition to staff children. I am hoping to move to the Jumeira or Silicon Oasis area. Any advice on when to start searching to shift after second year would be appreciated.
