One of the world’s largest operators of private schools is opening a new $100 million campus in Dubai where annual fees could reach as high as $56,000 as the company looks to capitalize on the influx of ultra-wealthy families that have made their way to the Gulf hub.
GEMS Education’s new 47,600-square-meter campus, which is set to open in August, will feature a 600-seat auditorium, an Olympic-sized pool and a football field that doubles as a helipad, according to a statement. Known as the School of Research and Innovation, students will also have access to robotics labs and go-kart engineering workshops, along with a 400-meter track to test their designs.
