About us
What if education could go beyond the classroom?
In a diverse and fast-moving city like Dubai, children grow up surrounded by different languages, cultures, ideas, and opportunities. As parents and educators, how can we work together to help them learn, grow, and see a bigger world?
This community brings together parents, students, educators, education professionals, and organizations who believe that education is not only about grades, but also about curiosity, confidence, culture, connection, and discovering possibilities.
We will share educational resources, learning and language opportunities, cultural activities, parenting experiences, and inspiring stories. We will also invite educators, universities, professionals, and organizations to share their knowledge and create meaningful opportunities for our members.
Through my international network, including connections with universities, schools, education institutions, businesses, and professional resources in China and beyond, I hope to bring additional opportunities and connections to the community.
But this is not a group where people simply receive information.
Every family, student, and educator has something to contribute.
Perhaps you have an experience to share, a useful resource, an idea for an activity, or a connection that could help another member.
We also warmly welcome community partners and sponsors who would like to support education and family-focused initiatives. This could be providing a venue for an event, sponsoring an educational activity, sharing professional expertise, offering resources or opportunities, or simply helping us make a great idea possible.
What could we create if families, educators, students, and organizations all contributed something?
Our goal is to build more than an online group—a warm and supportive community where families feel welcome, students feel inspired, educators feel connected, and everyone can learn and grow together.
In a busy city like Dubai, perhaps we all need a place to slow down, meet good people, exchange ideas, and create memories beyond work and school.
Come to learn. Come to share. Come to connect. Come to contribute.
Together, let's create more possibilities for our children and for one another.

For U.S. college applications, choosing the right schools is more than simply creating a college list. It is a strategic process that considers a student’s individual strengths, school fit, and overall application strategy.
In this online session, Zak Harris, a former admissions officer at Johns Hopkins University, will draw on his admissions experience to help parents and students understand:
✅ How to plan a high-value and meaningful college visit
✅ How to develop a strategic college list based on a student’s individual profile
✅ How admissions officers assess student–college fitFrom choosing the right schools to making the most of campus visits, understanding what each university offers and developing an effective application strategy can make every step of the process more purposeful and valuable.
