Pearson · authorised programmeTaaleem · school is part of the networkWhat stands behind each entry
It gives a school approved centre status: that means Pearson exams can be sat in the school itself. What is checked is the premises, the equipment, the secure storage of papers and the presence of trained invigilators.
What the badge means for this school. The school can run Pearson exams on its own premises. The status says nothing about teaching, about results or about the school itself: any school able to run an exam securely holds it. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. Which Pearson qualifications this school is approved for is not stated here.

Each stage is authorised separately, so a school may hold one of them, two, or all four. PYP is the primary stage, ages 3 to 12. It is not a set of subjects but a frame for the whole school: learning is built around lines of inquiry, and there are no exams at the end. MYP is the middle stage, ages 11 to 16. There are no exams here either; at the end an optional electronic assessment of pupils' work is possible. DP is the final stage, ages 16 to 19: six subjects plus a compulsory core of theory of knowledge, an extended essay and CAS. The diploma is accepted by universities all over the world, and in a number of countries it counts for admission on the same footing as the local leaving certificate. CP is the final stage with a vocational slant, ages 16 to 19: some of the DP subjects plus an applied qualification. It is meant for those heading into a trade or an applied degree rather than an academic one.
What this means for this school. Authorisation for each stage is granted by the organisation itself after an on-site visit, and a school has to go through it again every few years. Every authorised school in the world stands in the open register at ibo.org, where the status can be checked independently. The IB diploma is awarded by the organisation rather than by the school, and the papers are marked by external examiners, so a leaver's grade does not depend on how strict their own school is with them.
Taaleem is a UAE school operator; on 25 Sep 2026 its site taaleem.ae shows counters «36 Schools across the UAE», «42,271 Students», «34 Nurseries» and «4,152 Employees». Figures inside the site disagree: against those thirty-six, the About us page lists seventeen items - five Dubai British School campuses, Jebel Ali School, Jumeira Baccalaureate School, Greenfield International School, both Raha International School campuses, Uptown International School, American Academy for Girls, three Dubai Schools, Lycee Libanais Francophone Prive Meydan and a line reading «Charter Schools» - and gives no total at all. On ownership the site speaks corporately: «The holding company, Madaares Private Joint Stock Company (PJSC), owns 100% of Taaleem PJSC and Taaleem Management LLC», and it describes its own business as «investment in the development and operation of K-12 schools». Which schools it owns and which it runs under contract the site does not break down; for Dubai Schools that is stated on their own site - «All schools are operated by Taaleem».
What this means for this school. The network owns or operates the school. Its accreditation and programme authorisation the school obtains separately, in its own name.
