The full online campus
Course materials, assessments and resources for every subject your child takes, the same as a fully online student.
Now open in Dubai
Your child follows the same CambriLearn lessons from a learning space in Al Barsha South, one to five days a week.
Lessons are taught live by subject specialists through the CambriLearn campus. What the hub adds is somewhere to go, an on-site facilitator through the day and a small group to work alongside. It is not a replacement school, it is the school day made physical.
In every package
Every hub package is the full CambriLearn school plus the in-person day. Nothing is taken out of the academic side to pay for the room.
Course materials, assessments and resources for every subject your child takes, the same as a fully online student.
Lessons run to a published timetable, taught by subject specialists through the campus and marked by the teacher who taught them. Recordings are available where published, so a clash does not cost your child the lesson.
Present through the whole day to get your child into their lessons, keep them moving between them and pick up when something is not landing.
Students message their subject teachers through the campus for help with coursework. The facilitator bridges the gap in the room in the meantime.
Past papers, timed assessments and targeted revision for International GCSE, AS and A Level, with the written papers sat at British Council centres in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Regular academic reports across every subject, plus a parent view of attendance and progress through CambriCommand.
Skills sessions covering communication, self-advocacy and emotional regulation run alongside the academic day, delivered by the centre we share the premises with. One to one tutoring can be added in person or online, and is charged separately.
The room itself
Worth being precise about, because a hub is not a school and the difference matters when you are choosing.
Arrange a visitThe hub runs from a child skills training centre in Al Barsha South, on KHDA permitted premises, in partnership with Louise Dawson. The premises hold that permission, not CambriLearn, and CambriLearn is not a KHDA-regulated school. Your child's qualifications come from the examination boards either way.
The person with your child all day is a facilitator. They get students into lessons, keep the day moving and flag problems early. The teaching itself comes from qualified subject specialists in the live lessons, who also mark the work and answer questions through the campus. Being clear about that split is the point: you are buying a supervised day, not a second set of teachers.
Groups are deliberately kept small so the facilitator can see every student through the day. It is the reason places are limited rather than a marketing line, and it is why families who found a class of thirty impossible tend to do well here.
Each student works to their own timetable and subject set, built around the level and subjects they are enrolled in. Two students sitting at the same table are often in different years, which is normal here rather than a compromise.
There is no entrance examination. A consultant confirms the starting level and subject set by readiness rather than by birthday, and will say plainly if the hub is not the right setting for your child. No uniform.
Evidence-based sessions on communication, self-advocacy and emotional regulation run alongside the curriculum, delivered by the centre. Advice on subject choices, examination entries and university applications comes from CambriLearn.
Choose your days
Pick the number of days a week your child attends. The hub fee covers the room, the facilitator and the skills sessions, and sits on top of CambriLearn tuition, which is charged separately per subject.
British Early Years to Foundation II, and US Middle School
For younger students who do better with a supervised room, a set routine and somebody checking in through the day.
Days a week at the hub
$12,500 a year
One day a week. Charged in addition to tuition, which is separate. Examination entry fees are paid to the centre.
British and Pearson Edexcel post-14, and US High School
For senior students working towards examinations and university entry, where the examination preparation and the routine matter most.
Days a week at the hub
$14,500 a year
One day a week. Charged in addition to tuition, which is separate. Examination entry fees are paid to the centre.
Two fees make up a hub year: CambriLearn tuition, charged per subject and per level, and the hub fee above. Your consultant sends one combined figure so you are not adding it up yourself. Tuition is priced in the fee calculator, which shows every level and package in ZAR, USD, GBP, AED or EUR. Hub fees are in US dollars. Places are limited by group size, so availability on your preferred days is confirmed at application rather than assumed.
One school, two formats
The curriculum, the teachers and the qualifications are the same in both. What changes is where your child sits and who is with them while they do it.

Who applies
Six situations that come up more than any others among the families who apply.
You need your child supervised and working during the working day, on a schedule you can plan around.
Online school asks a child to start on time without being told. Some can, some cannot yet, and the room does that job instead.
Children who were not struggling with the work, only with the noise and the pace of a large room.
A calmer room, close supervision and the skills sessions alongside the academic day, in a setting that can flex around the child.
No waiting list and no term to wait for. Your child is in a room and in lessons rather than at home for a few months.
Families comparing a physical school day in Dubai against day-school fees, who want the routine without the price.
In plain language
Where it is, what it costs on top of tuition, who is supervising and what happens on the days your child is not there.
See online school in the UAEIn Al Barsha South, Dubai, at a child skills training centre run in partnership with Louise Dawson. The premises are KHDA permitted. Your consultant gives you the full address and arranges a visit before you apply.
Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm. Your child works through their own timetable across the day with the facilitator present throughout, with breaks and a supervised lunch. On the days your child is not at the hub they carry on from home on the same timetable.
Yes, from one to five. The fee changes with the number of days and with your child's level. On the days your child is not at the hub they carry on from home on the same timetable, so nothing is missed either way. Availability on your preferred days is confirmed at application, because group sizes are capped.
All three. Hub students follow the International British curriculum from Early Years to A Level, Pearson Edexcel at International GCSE, AS and A Level, or the US curriculum from Grade 6 to Grade 12. The pathway is the same as online school, because the lessons are the same lessons.
Hub fees start from $12,500 a year for one day a week at Early Years to Lower Secondary, and from $14,500 a year for one day a week at International GCSE and above. Five days a week runs to $19,500 and $21,500 respectively. Every option is on the fee selector above.
The hub fee is in addition to CambriLearn tuition, which is charged per subject and per level and priced in the fee calculator. Examination entry fees are paid to the examination centre. Your consultant sends one combined figure.
Yes. The hub fee covers the room, the on-site facilitator and the skills sessions. Tuition covers the curriculum, the live lessons, the marking and the assessments, and is charged separately. Both are quoted together before you enrol so there is no second invoice you did not expect.
An on-site facilitator, present every day the hub is open. They get students into their lessons, keep the day moving, do one to one check ins and flag anything that is not working. The teaching comes from qualified subject specialists in the live lessons, who mark the work and answer questions through the campus.
No, and it does not need to be. The KHDA regulates private schools that physically operate within Dubai. CambriLearn is an accredited online school based outside the UAE, so it sits outside that scope. Our accreditation comes through Cognia and we are an approved Pearson Edexcel examination centre. The hub operates as a private learning support facility rather than as a regulated school, on KHDA permitted premises, and qualifications are issued by the examination boards.
Students on the International British or Pearson Edexcel pathway sit International GCSE, AS and A Level papers in person as private candidates at British Council centres in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Entries for the May and June series typically close in February, so contact the centre four to five months ahead. US curriculum students write their assessments online as part of the Cognia accredited programme. See verified UAE exam centres.
Neither. A consultant confirms the starting level and subject set by readiness rather than by birthday, and will tell you if the hub is not the right setting for your child. Students dress comfortably and appropriately for a learning environment.
Yes. Group sizes are capped so the facilitator can see every student through the day, which caps places as a consequence. Availability on specific days is confirmed at application rather than promised in advance.
Yes, in either direction. Families start online and add hub days, or reduce hub days when circumstances change. The academic side does not change, because the curriculum, the teachers and the timetable are the same. Speak to your consultant about adjusting the package.
