Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the father and founder of Dubai, may God bless his soul, established Al Ittihad Private School in Dubai during the UAE’s formation, in line with the wise leadership’s vision in establishing a high-level educational system. 

In 1975, the journey of Al Ittihad Private Schools began from a small villa in the Al Hamriya area, starting as one of the oldest private schools in Dubai, to become a leading educational institution today, as part of five branches in different areas of the country. Over the years, the school has gained and fostered the trust of each generation; the grandparents now choosing to enroll their children and grandchildren as a clear indication of its strong commitment to achieving its vision: “A generation of heritage guardians and global thinkers.” 

This vision is achieved through fostering students’ local traditions, national pride, personal development, and social contributions to effectively prepare them for future challenges and success throughout the world.
