UAE September academic year in Abu Dhabi for 2027–28
Abu Dhabi private schools answer to ADEK, not to Dubai’s regulator. Irtiqa'a inspection language and ADEK document requirements show up in admissions packs that families moving from other emirates still have to complete again.

Local named facts include ADEK, Irtiqa'a, September intake, UAE Dirham. September intake aligned to ADEK year expectations, with Irtiqa'a evidence gathered across terms. For 2027–28, do not copy 2026–27 day-level dates forward. Rebuild the holiday master from new circulars when they appear.
