Use KHDA Girnas for official educational consultation about Dubai private schools and curricula before making an enrolment decision.

The practical answer

KHDA Girnas is an official educational consultation service for parents in Dubai. Through KHDA’s smart chatbot, a parent can ask about private schools and curricula using current regulator information. It is a decision aid, not an admission guarantee or a substitute for visiting a school.

How to handle it

1. Define the decision clearly

List the child’s age, current curriculum, language needs, location, budget and any support requirements. Avoid sharing unnecessary medical or identity data in a general question.

2. Sign in through the KHDA portal

Use UAE Pass on the official KHDA site and open Girnas. Do not follow a paid agent link claiming priority access.

3. Compare official school information

Ask about curricula, inspection information and regulatory status, then verify fees, availability, transport and support directly with shortlisted schools.

4. Keep the final decision evidence

Save school policies, fee schedules and written admissions terms. Confirm all deposits and refund conditions before paying.

Important: A chatbot answer cannot confirm a seat, predict a child’s fit or override a school’s published admission and support assessment.

Before you act

KHDA describes Girnas as a parent educational consultation service. Use it alongside the KHDA school directory, inspection results and direct school documentation.
