School Setup & Regulatory Approvals – Case Studies

Olmec Consulting has supported multiple investors and education groups in setting up new schools across the UAE, providing end-to-end advisory from concept development to regulatory approvals.

Our engagements typically begin with feasibility studies, demographic analysis, curriculum positioning, fee structuring, and identification of suitable land parcels in line with planning regulations.

We prepare detailed academic plans and coordinate closely with regulatory authorities such as KHDA, ADEK, SPEA, and the Ministry of Education to secure initial approvals and licenses.

Our role also includes liaising with architects, planners, and project teams to ensure compliance with authority guidelines on built-up area, open space ratios, and operational requirements.

Through this structured approach, we enable investors to establish compliant, market-aligned schools with a clear roadmap for development and long-term sustainability.
