A promo video of the Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management in Dubai. The Academy is located near Jumeirah Beach and belongs to the Jumeirah Group of Hotels. The video also promotes the Jumeirah properties like the Burj al Arab, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Emirates Towers, etc and is mainly a marketing video with student testimonials and feature overviews. The Emirates Academy is one of the main hotel schools available in Dubai and has an affiliation with the Ecole Hotelerie de Lausanne (EHL) in Switzerland. The costs however are extremely high and for a little extra, most parents would opt to send their children to Switzerland or elsewhere in Europe / USA to complete their hotel management studies. A majority of the students in the Academy are from overseas, since Dubai offers a good sunny vacation while studying here and the Jumeirah group absorbs trainees and employees during and after their studies.

Overview
Few things are of greater importance to parents than the education of their children. For over thirty years JESS, as a non-profit making school, has provided children in Dubai with a high quality education in a challenging environment for learning. The first JESS school was founded in September 1975 and the school has built a reputation as one of the finest British curriculum primary schools.
In response to the growing need for further quality educational provision, the Board of Governors has fully supported the development of an additional Primary and Secondary providing opportunity for a greater number of children within the community to be part of the JESS experience. From September 2005 at the Arabian Ranches development, JESS opened an additional three form entry primary school from Foundation through to Year 6, together with a six form entry secondary school, initially for Years 7, 8 and 9. The secondary school will then offer a complete Key Stage 3 phase (Years 7 to 9) in September 2006 and commence Year 10 in September 2007.
