Families living in Dubai can enroll at Legacy Online School without a UAE address or proof of residency. We are a WASC-approved online private school delivering a US K–12 American curriculum to students in Dubai, across the Emirates, and in 15+ countries globally. Enrolment takes under 10 minutes.
Hundreds of families across the city have been asking this question since Legacy launched. The answer is yes – there is no UAE address required, no proof of residency, and no seat reservation fees.
A passport or student ID is enough to get started. Transcripts help with course placement, but students in Grades K–8 can sit a placement test instead. High school learners submit transcripts, and these can follow after registration if you don’t have them ready. Once payment is confirmed, student accounts are ready within 48 hours.
| Feature | Legacy Online School | Other Private Schools in Dubai |
|---|---|---|
| UAE residency required | No | Usually yes |
| Seat reservation fee | None | Standard |
| Class size | Max 15 pupils, 1:15 ratio | Varies |
| Curriculum | US (Florida Virtual School) | British, CBSE, Cambridge International |
| Diploma | US High School Diploma | Varies by school |
| Start date | Any time | Fixed academic year |
| Classes | Daily, online | On-campus, fixed schedule |
Most families across Dubai compare these two before deciding:
| Criteria | Legacy (US Curriculum) | British Curriculum |
|---|---|---|
| Grades covered | K–12 | Year 1–13 |
| Diploma | US High School Diploma | IGCSE / A-Levels |
| AP courses | 17 courses | No |
| University access | US, UK, Europe, worldwide | Primarily UK |
| Fully online education | Yes | Limited |
Our program runs through Grade 12 and covers the full range – Mathematics, Science, English Language Arts, and Social Studies form the core, with Foreign Languages, Fine Arts, and Career and Technical Education rounding it out. STEM runs through every grade level, and full-time high schoolers can take AP courses on top of their core subjects.
Heading to a US or European university? The American course of study with AP coursework is where it all starts.
Live classes run in the morning US time, which puts them in the evening in Dubai – roughly 7:00 PM onward. Most families here find that works well. Mornings stay free, and classes slot in naturally once the day winds down.
If that schedule doesn’t work either, the Self-Paced plan removes live attendance entirely. In contrast to traditional schools, your children get full access to the online learning platform and recorded online lessons around the clock, with two free teacher consultations per month included. Extra tutoring is available at $25/hour.
Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi – it doesn’t matter where in the UAE a student is based. Everyone gets the same package:
The learning environment is teacher-led, and supported in a way that distance learning by itself never is.
Finding the right school here is never simple – options for pupils range from international British schools to CBSE campuses. We help parents and children personalize their learning experience no matter where they are coming from education-wise.
Our school accepts transfer credits evaluated through Scholaro, and a counsellor reviews what credits carry forward and helps individualize the path before the student begins. One thing worth knowing: we require at least 25% of total coursework to be completed with them before issuing a diploma.
Also, Legacy offers 19 AP courses for full-time high schoolers, who sit their exams at a local testing center.
Penn State, University of Maryland, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, University of Portsmouth – these are some of the universities our graduates have been accepted to recently. See verified university acceptances →
