The acquisition of Smart Vision School in Dubai brings its school portfolio in the Middle East to 11, spanning Qatar and the UAE 

Dubai, June 10, 2025: International Schools Partnership (iSP) has acquired Smart Vision School, a school located in Dubai’s Al Barsha. The acquisition reflects ISP’s ongoing efforts to expand its presence in the region’s education sector, bringing its portfolio to 11 schools across Qatar and the UAE, including three in Doha, two in Abu Dhabi, and now six in Dubai. 

Founded in 2014, Smart Vision School is a British curriculum school, with students from the Foundation Stage (FS) to Year 8.  

Kam Bhamra, Regional Managing Director for ISP Middle East says, “The school’s commitment to creating a nurturing and supportive learning environment resonates strongly with ISP’s values and our Learning-First ethos, which is central to everything we do.” 

Tracey Scott, Principal of Smart Vision School, says, “This acquisition marks a significant step forward for Smart Vision School, allowing us to expand our offerings, enhance our facilities and provide our students with access to a world-class education that prepares them for future success.” 

The acquisition makes Smart Vision School the eighth UAE school to be added to the ISP network. Globally, the group owns more than 100 schools in 25 countries. Smart Vision School joins other ISP Schools in the Middle East, which include The Aquila School, Nibras International School, Star International School, Al Twar, Star International School, Mirdif, and The English College in Dubai; Aspen Heights British School, and Reach British School in Abu Dhabi; and The Hamilton International School, Park House English School and Durham School for Girls in Qatar. 

ISP has stated that it will develop the physical and operational infrastructure of Smart Vision School, including expanding the current building to accommodate a secondary section and creating specialised learning areas. The expansion will enable Smart Vision School to become a full FS through to Year 13 school.
