Our Story
Built by a mother. Named for her son.
After Jad was rejected by 22 Dubai schools, his mother Rana flew to the US, learned special needs pedagogy, and came back to build what didn't exist. When Jad passed away in 2018 at age 11, she renamed the center in his honor — turning grief into Dubai's most powerful education mission.
