Mr Anjum, Managing Director of the Excellist Learning Centre said “there are three main reasons to partner with the American High School.

Most of the Asian schools that cater for Indian, Pakistani and Filipino pupils offered tuition that “fall under the affordable to low categories”, according to the report, which classified low annual tuition as between Dh10,000 to Dh19,999.
