History of Taaleem

The origins of Taaleem began in ‎2004 when Beacon Education, a school
management company was set up to develop and run high quality education
projects. Beacon Education was created to meet the need for top-quality
schools as the region 's population continues to grow.
Our first schools opened in September ‎2005 and two years later, His Excellency
Nasser Hassan Al-Shaikh, Chairman of the Board of Taaleem, spearheaded a major
ongoing investment in Beacon Education by National Bonds, a Dubai-based
private joint stock company with around ‎50% ownership by the Government of
Dubai.
Taaleem is the assumed name through which we will continue to deliver our
promise to inspire students and help them to identify and develop their
passions and talents.
