What Parents Say About
Our Leading Online School in Dubai
Home Learning

To the Rescue
Sophia High has come to the rescue by providing an innovative and dedicated approach to their education. We feel that the care and the attention to the children’s individual growth is paramount and as a consequence the children have adjusted much more seamlessly to the professional online school that is provided by Sophia High. I would highly recommend Sophia High, not just in these uncertain times, but also in a wider context whereby we can define and control our children’s education from the comfort of our home.
