Dubai Marina is one of the most internationally diverse areas of Dubai — heavily expatriate British, European, Indian, Arab and South African families, often living in high-rise apartments along the Marina waterfront. Marina families typically have children at GEMS Wellington International School (Al Sufouh), Dubai British School Jumeirah Park, Emirates International School Meadows, Dubai American Academy or Repton Dubai. Smartious provides online tuition for Marina students joining live 1-on-1 sessions from their apartments.
