TL;DR

Ambassador International Academy, around 15 km from Za’abeel 2, is mentioned as a relatively nearby option. Confirm vacancies, admission for non-English speakers and EAL provision directly with each school; EAL is usually an extra paid service and may be compulsory after assessment.

What the community said

Dubai has only one Russian school, but admission and language-support arrangements for a child with no English must still be confirmed directly. At age seven, enrolment may be more feasible, but each school makes its own decision.

Russian school in Dubai

Not every Dubai school offers EAL. It is generally a paid add-on rather than part of standard tuition, and if it is assigned after an admissions interview or assessment, it may be mandatory.

EAL — paid add-on

Ambassador International Academy is about 15 km from Za’abeel 2 and is considered relatively close by Dubai standards. Without a car, check school-bus availability and the actual journey time in advance.
