Its original site was established in 1985 as a nursery, located in the historic communities of Dubai, in Al Rigga, to Al Muteena and later Hor Al Anz, from which the school opened in 1988. It moved to the current location in Al Nahda 2 in 1994. It is one of the highest achieving schools in Dubai.[1]

Al Salam School began as a nursery in 1985 and three years later, Al Salam Private School was established. The location of the school changed as it grew and larger sites were used to accommodate the growing numbers. Al Salam operated in t through to its current site in Al Nahda 2.

The school ranks as one of the best value for money schools in Dubai.[2] This is due to its low fees yet exceptionally high outcomes. As a consequence, it is in high demand with waiting lists common in most years.[3]

The school was founded by Sue Johnston, who served as its Principal for 29 years. She was Dubai's longest serving headteacher, who has been a key influencer in the education sector in Dubai and described as ‘inspirational,’ by the KHDA.[4]

The school is now led by Kausor Amin-Ali, who holds the title of Principal & Executive Headteacher. He is the author of a chapter entitled 'Education in the UAE: An Overview' as part of the book 'Education in the Arab World' by Dr Serra Kirdar.[5]
