My daughter started at DAA couple of days ago so cant comment yet on the quality of education or my childs experience. Ill update the review at a later date to include more details. So far I have observed the following:Drop offs and pick ups are a nightmare. We didnt plan two hours a day to get our daughter to and from school thats 5 min from where we live. The traffic is awful as they only planned one tiny access road for a 3000 people school and a massive hospital right next to it. Both my husband and I need to go for drop offs and pick ups in order for one person to stay in the car stuck somewhere near the school while the other person goes to get the kid. Its beyond ridiculous. Given that Dubai is a new city and neither the school nor the hospital have been there for 500 years, I am not sure how they allowed for this poor traffic planning.Second, we were instructed in one of the many letters we received prior to the school start to get registered with the Slices cafeteria and book meals for kids. After several unsuccessful attempts, writing emails, filing tickets etc, the receptionist at DAA (not terribly kind either) tells us that their site doesnt work yet. It would have been nice to know that in advance to avoid calling and writing emails. Also, why are they not open? Were they surprised that the school started last week of August? They mentioned a website upgrade, which I would expect them to do over the two months kids are out of school.Thirdly, school uniforms are compulsory and again, its difficult to get an appointment with a monopolist that sells them. Once we bought them, we found them to be 100% polyester at a premium price.The schools payment system doesnt update correctly and doesnt reflect the deposit we paid months ago, thus asking for more money than needed when paying tuition. Lots of communication and lengthy emails going out to parents before school start, could have streamlined a bit.The classroom seems small and very basic, with wooden benches. Transitioning from a nursery environment where kids had plenty of creative and fun space to move around, I am not thrilled my child will be seated there for hours, but lets see how it goesIf they dont do something about the traffic situation and food, we may not continue with them next semester. Given the size of the property, sports and science facilities, this may be a better choice for older kids, not kindergarten age.

Very good school in Dubai. Good teachers good staffs all over good ambiance

Overall it is a good school. there are many ups and downs throughout the year, but at the end of it, i think my child can excel at this school.

The students here are very mean, i visited the school (i was thinking of enrolling) this one student named sury moondrah slapped me on the back of my head for no reason and proceeded to tell me i am too poor to attend dubai american academy and that it is his school and proceeded to swear me down

Very good infrastructure and facilities. Looks great place for children education.

Out of the 5+ schools I have attended this was by far the best one. Excellent facilities, delicious meals, good teaching and kind people. They also inspire you to read more, and they make sure you can get resourceful when studying. We also learned some robotics and coding, as well as using technology when learning. I was in the school in 2017/2018 in grade 5LD and I loved it. If I could I would definitely go back there!

Incredible school in every way. Inspiring head of school, excellent SLT, professional and passionate teachers and just wonderful students. Definitely well respected and renowned for its IB results. The best school for innovation in the region through all levels. The campus is also incredible. It is, without any doubt the best American school in Dubai and one of the best private schools in the region. Arts and Sports programs top class. We are an admirer of the theatre program which has produced so many professionals in the industry over the years who are making their marks on the world stage

The school is amazing, I just moved here and I love it. its ten times better than my old school. the teachers are enthusiastic and have many ways of including students in their work actively

My daughter got bullied in this school by every class mate

I used to attend this school and moved to another school. I didnt know that this school was that outstanding when I was attending, however as soon as I went to another school, I found out that DAA was actually really helpful and was a school that gave a lot of opportunity to all of the students. I can tell you that this school is amazing!

Its an amazing experience. They are keeping their standards and quality always. Highly skilled teachers and good staffs are together making a good quality students.

All the kids in the school told my little sister that Whales are supposed to be on the Ocean, not land. This school is extremely overpriced as well, save money Im warning you because our lives have been better after leaving.

My LO attends KG. So far so good

Outstanding school

Dubai American Academy has been a second home to my daughters and I for a very long time. As a parent, I have had the absolute pleasure of watching my daughters flourish into independent learners who do not shy away from challenges. Thanks to their fabulous teachers, my children take risks and solve social and academic problems with ease. GO Leopards!

I love the school and really enjoy representing the leopards team in many different sports throughout the year. Since I moved to the school it has been a great experience, but when a group of students were showing great amounts of interest in a sports team that DAA doesnt offer we were let down by the leadership of the school. All Mesac school are competing in Folk-style wrestling in season 2, and these schools would show up to competitions with maybe 5-6 guys in their first season but that didnt stop them. I know for a fact that DAA could easily have started a wrestling team that students have been pushing for 2 years with a coach available, and everything sorted out but still got denied. This is really embarrassing as this shows 0 student empowerment and is crushing the students that are trying to be leaders for change.

My brother loves this school! Astonishing experience and very polite staff;)

VERY GOOD Experience

My daughter, husband and I have been at DAA for 10 years. It is a close-knit community with dedicated teachers and so many different activities to be a part of. Students have the opportunity to be part of so many events that really help shape the whole-child.

NOICE SKOOL VERRRY KUUUUL

Its extremely overrated, instead of going to DAA, get some one-way plane tickets to America, and enroll them into some public school, because anything at this point is better than DAA. What I really hate is that they grab your attention with all these fancy looking robots and that youre gonna be using so much advanced tech here. But the only advanced tech youre gonna be using here is your laptop that was handed down to you by your dad.

A great school with advanced American curriculum and the IB experience in the high school diploma program. The teachers are well trained professionals and care about the students. There is a culture of kindness that reverberates throughout the school and a truly international student body. It is a great option to send your student if youre not entirely sure which country theyll go for university.

Gr8 School my 4 kids goes to this school. No complain. No school is perfect but surely this school is one of the best in Dubai. Teachers are gr8 and professional. Highly recommend.

Gems Dubai American Academy Does not meet the requirement to be an outstanding school due to some problems that parents and student are concerned about, Firstly, Teachers at DAA are too abusive towards their students, Teachers dont try to help improve student academic weaknesses, Teachers would rather delete your Whole essay then give areas of improvements and that doesnt help students at all, The schools Administration does noting to support a bullied Students and as I am a student i have noticed that most of the kids at school dont feel safe, Parents are concerned that the schools fees are well over-priced due to lots of days off, As a student I have the right to stand up for myself and to become support the schools education system to better improve the learning environment, According to parent from the previous school (Gems Nations academy), Although the school fees were 12% more than DAA annual fess, They have provided an excellent education system and brought joy to all students, The only thing I can say something great about DAA is that they offer international and local trips to student, Here are some trips they have offered,1. Stay fit (Local)2. U.A.E living (LOCAL)3. Hatta Fort (LOCAL)4. Padi Diving (LOCAL)5. ES/PS volunteering (LOCAL)6. Nepal (International)7. Cambodia (International)8. Sri Lanka (International)9. Tanzania (International)10. Switzerland (International)11.Silicon Valley (International)I really advise the schools administration to take strict action towards the education system.Thank you

I have transferred my kids before the year end. Couldn’t wait any longer. Very disappointed with this school. In Dubai you can find a lot better schools.

I and my sister really want to go to this school but the fees are very high♥️♥️🤗

Coming here on trainings. Great place, perfect conditions for many sports

All 3 of my kids attended school here.. from elementary, middle and high school. It was the best academic school they attended with great teachers and lots of support should kids need it.

This is the best school ever they have friendly teachers, good cafeteria food and fun activity s overall this is a great school would highly recommend

A great learning community that provides endless opportunities for creative students.

Daa is a great school and Asd is trash you should go to Daa i loved it

A wonderful community, deeply rooted in the Culture of Kindness.

I am a staff in this school, and i can see that this school has really bad education and activities and everything.The educations, it sucks. Mrs.**eth** said Shut up and some really bad words to this whole class. I used to be the substitute of this class. It is so bad.
