About NextBench
Choosing a school in Dubai means comparing 17 curricula, hundreds of schools and fee sheets that rarely show what a year really costs. Most parents end up with ten browser tabs and a spreadsheet.
NextBench turns that into one question. Describe your child the way you'd tell a friend, and you get a shortlist with the real yearly cost, the official KHDA rating and the distance from home.
What we promise parents
- NextBench is free for parents, always.
- Ratings come from KHDA, Dubai's school regulator. We never sell ratings or rankings.
- Schools can pay to be featured. Featured schools are always labelled and never change "Best match".
- When you ask a school a question, your details go only to that school.
Where the information comes from
School names, curricula, ratings and enrolment come from KHDA open data on Dubai Pulse. Fees come from each school's KHDA-approved fee sheet. Bus and uniform costs are estimates. Fees and seats change, so always confirm with the school before you apply.
From KG to campus
