Why families across Dubai

A locally-tuned, MoE-aligned AI elective designed for the emirate your family actually lives in.

Aligned with the UAE Cabinet AI-in-schools mandate

The Grade 6–12 path covers each of the MoE's seven core curriculum areas — foundational concepts, data and algorithms, software applications, ethical awareness, real-world applications, innovation and project design, and policy. KG–Grade 5 content is built around the same seven pillars at age-appropriate depth.

Friendly to KHDA-regulated private schools

British, IB, American, Indian-curriculum, and bilingual KHDA-regulated private schools across Dubai can use the platform as supplementary AI literacy material that maps cleanly to the federal MoE seven core areas and to KHDA Inspection Framework expectations on technology and innovation.

Designed for the Dubai schedule

Self-paced 20–30 minute lessons that fit between school, swimming, ECAs, and weekend travel. Offline mode covers Metro commutes and patchy connectivity in newer districts like Town Square and Dubai South.

Bilingual: English + Arabic side-by-side

Every lesson is available in EN and AR, matching the bilingual reality of Dubai households. Hreflang and full RTL support are built in — not a translation afterthought.

What are the 7 MoE AI curriculum areas?

Every grade band on the platform maps to the seven core curriculum themes confirmed by the UAE Ministry of Education for the KG–Grade 12 AI subject.

1

Foundational AI concepts

What AI is, what it isn't, and how it relates to computing and data. Age-graded from KG sensory stories to Grade 12 model architectures.

2

Data and algorithms

How data is collected, labelled, and turned into predictions. Students learn the moving parts of an algorithm before they meet code.

3

Software applications

Real AI tools — voice assistants, image generators, language models — explored with safe, sandboxed access at each grade level.

4

Ethical awareness

Bias, fairness, privacy, plagiarism, and the responsible use of AI. A core theme in every grade, not an optional add-on.

5

Real-world applications

How AI shows up in healthcare, transport, energy, retail, government services — including UAE-specific case studies.

6

Innovation and project design

Students design and build their own AI systems. Project-based, portfolio-grade work, sequenced from Grade 1 onward.

7

Policies and community engagement

How nations and communities regulate AI. Connects to the UAE National AI Strategy 2031 and the Ministry of AI portfolio.

Which UAE regulators does the curriculum map to?

We don't just claim alignment. Each emirate has its own regulator and we publish how we map to each.

1

KHDA — Knowledge and Human Development Authority

Regulates Dubai's private schools. Inspection Framework emphasises technology and innovation — areas our curriculum reinforces.

2

MoE Federal Curriculum

Public schools follow the federal MoE curriculum, where AI is now a mandatory KG–12 subject from 2025–26.

3

Dubai Future Foundation

Sets the broader AI talent agenda — our project-based outputs are sized for DFF student innovation submissions.

4

UAE National AI Strategy 2031

Our curriculum threads the Strategy's pillars (talent, infrastructure, ethics, R&D) into project briefs and reflections.

Less than one Dubai private-tuition hour

How much does a year of AI learning cost?

Dubai: Frequently Asked Questions

My child's KHDA-regulated school is rolling out AI — does this replace it?
No — it complements it. The Ministry of Education mandate covers government schools; KHDA private schools are independently adopting AI content. Our platform sits alongside whatever the school provides, giving the child a structured, project-based path they own at home.
Does this cover the MoE's seven core curriculum areas?
Yes. Every grade band on LittleAIMaster maps directly to the seven core areas — foundational AI concepts, data and algorithms, software applications, ethical awareness, real-world applications, innovation and project design, and policies and community engagement.
Will my child be ahead of their UAE school class?
In most cases, yes. The MoE is rolling out the curriculum across 2025–26 and teachers are being trained in parallel. Students using LittleAIMaster typically come in with stronger ethical-use vocabulary, hands-on project experience, and prompt-engineering practice than the mandatory subject alone provides at this stage.
Is Arabic content available?
Yes. Every page and every lesson is available in English and Arabic with full RTL layout. The Arabic experience is a first-class build, not a translation patch.
How does pricing work in AED?
The family plan is AED 519 per year — equivalent to roughly one mid-tier private-tuition hour in Dubai. School-tier pricing (per-seat AED, KHDA invoice support) is available via the For Schools page.
Will my child use ChatGPT or generative AI directly?
For Grade 7+ students yes — inside a sandboxed environment with logged conversations. Below Grade 7, students learn how those systems work using visualisations and small classroom-safe demos, never raw API access.
