Filipino families in the UAE looking for a more affordable schooling option without compromising on quality will soon have a new choice, as St. Blaise Christian School, Inc. holds its official launch on May 8, 2026, at the Asiana Hotel in Deira, Dubai.
Based in Catanga, San Fabian, Pangasinan, the DepEd-accredited school operates its UAE presence through a partnership with GPMS, under the Gutierrez Group of Companies, with offices at Tamani Arts Offices, 6th Floor, Office No. 660, Al Asayel Street, Business Bay, Dubai. The school is also ISO certified.
The institution offers a distance learning program designed for Filipino children in the UAE, built around a hybrid teaching structure — school-based teachers delivering lessons from the school’s campus in the Philippines, and a separate UAE-based faculty providing local academic support and guidance.
According to Zarah Gutierrez of St. Blaise Christian School in Dubai, the UAE-based teachers are all Licensed Professional Teachers with experience not only in the Philippine system but across the GCC region. She noted that this dual familiarity equips them to bridge the Philippine curriculum with the day-to-day realities of students living and studying in the UAE. The UAE faculty also hold certification from the Skill Development Council Canada, which the school highlights as grounding their teaching in globally aligned, skills-focused practices.
Enrollment is currently open, with a limited-time offer of 50% off tuition fees, bringing the annual payment down to AED 2,990 from a regular rate of AED 3,520. The school is positioning itself as a practical option for OFW families who want their children to remain connected to the Philippine education system at a manageable cost.
All programs follow DepEd standards, ensuring graduates are recognized under the Philippine education system. Interested families may reach the school via WhatsApp at +971 50 251 1456 or +971 55 447 9520, by landline at +971 4 547 7721, or by email at admin@gutierrezpms.com.
