Taaleem

Taaleem, formerly known as Beacon Education, is a school management company set up in 2003 to develop and run high-quality education projects.â â The founding partners identified two distinct gaps in the market: the need for more top-quality schools to cater to the growing population and the desire of the many investors to plough their funds into ventures that will help to secure the long-term success of the region. Taaleem was founded to fill these gaps.â

Our Focus is first and foremost on education and students. The comprehensive and holistic approach we employ means that we place as much emphasis on the emotional, social, moral, and physical development of our students as on the academic.â
