HOLGED, an education group with more than 40 years of experience, has opened AL JABR EFI in Nad Al Sheba, Dubai.

Licensed by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), AL JABR EFI welcomes children aged 1 to 6 and follows the official French National Education curriculum (Cycle 1). French is the main language of instruction, while English and Arabic are introduced progressively. Enrolment is open.
Welcoming families of all nationalities, AL JABR EFI offers full-time, part-time and school holiday programmes designed to meet the needs of modern families. The centre provides a safe, nurturing and multicultural environment where every child is encouraged to grow, learn and thrive with confidence.
“The early years are among the most important in a child’s life. They lay the foundations for curiosity, self-confidence and a lifelong love of learning,” said Sarah Epée, Director of AL JABR EFI. “Together with families, we strive to build the foundations for every child’s future success and well-being.”
Located in the heart of Nad Al Sheba, the campus has been purposefully designed for young children. It features bright modern classrooms, secure outdoor areas, a library, and dedicated facilities supporting physical, artistic and sensory development. A team of qualified educators provides personalised support tailored to each child’s age and pace.
