Beacon Education Dubai information updated. Beacon Education was the original name of the Taaleem education provider, established in 2003 to develop British, American, and international curriculum private schools in Dubai. Initially, Taaleem was a different entity, established to fund the Beacon Education schools. Subsequently, Taaleem and Beacon were acquired by Madaares Dubai, another education investment organisation. Madarees then later renamed itself as Taaleem, which is the present name for the group that operates what were originally know as the Beacon schools, in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Beacon Education itself no longer exists under that name.
