I don’t believe all the bad comments. Honestly I put my son there back in 2018 till day and never regret it’s a good school with strong value at reasonable cost and most importantly the education level is very good

Kg is good. Grade 2 wasnt good. Absent teachers, they changed the English teacher 3 times in one semester. Too much play, very less learning.

Do not let the overall rating of the school fool you. This place is terrible. I have been studying here for over 10 years. There are many reason why this school is a very bad choice.1- The school has been getting Good status for many years in a rowby the KHDA. By law, they cannot increase prices unless they get a better ranking from KHDA. Because of this, they have been giving insanely high prices to coup with there small school fees. You should be paying 25,000 AED a year, but in reality you will be paying at least 35,000 AED in total for uniforms, books and other fees that they force you to pay.2- The existing school staff are very bad. New teachers that come to the school to teach only stay for 2 years, maybe only 1 year if they really cant stand the school. When they do leave, the school takes forever to replace the teachers. Sometimes the teacher will not arrive for an entire semester and when he does arrive, it will be to late to teach anything and the students suffer because of this.3- The teachers the do stay in the school have a very good reason to, in a bad way. Over 60% of the school are locals so most grade 12 teachers exploit them by taking bribes from them. Another bad thing is the teachers never adapt to the times. The school charged the students a 2,500 AED laptop that in the market only costs 300 AED. The worst part of this scam is that I bought and owned it for 3 years in the school and we NEVER USED IT. The teachers need to learn to use it more often because it is a very important tool nowadays.In conclusion, this school should be OUTRIGHT AVOIDED. If you care for child, I advise you to pick another school, even with higher fees because this school will outright steal from you. Education is not its priority, money is!I hope I changed your mind about picking this school.

So to keep it clear, I want to talk about everything I dislike about this school:-School is always short on the staff, sometimes can even end up giving teachers more work because of the lack of attendees. (but to be fair teachers are the only aspect I like about this school so Im not going to complain about this section any further)-Bathrooms are in poor condition; broken toilets, filthy floors, and rubbish all over the place.-Bullying is a serious problem; a lot of students get harassed, or are affected by the prejudice and racism of their fellow classmates. (ie: some students that come from outside the UAE get bullied for their accents)-Cheap gadgets; tables are always in a horrible state, laptops are very laggy and fragile, yet we pay the price of an iPad to receive and fix.-(tied to laptop) Laptops didnt get updated until now. Also, fixing the school laptop is a very tedious process. (like for Petes sake, why do you need a whole semester to fix the mouse pad!?)-(This is more of a problem that faces me, and I think it is important to point out) Buses are sometimes in a horrible state, especially my bus -- bus 60. Last year, at Ramadan, we had the finals of the 3rd semester. The bus that goes to Jumeirah was being repaired that time, so they needed to combine the students that go to that bus to my bus (the bus that goes to Dubai Marina, so no big deal). Our bus was not in a good condition either, since one of the tyres was broken for half the exam days duration and the AC didnt work until the last exam day. Last week, our bus was exchanged with another bus that wasnt working (the bus would shut down while the driver was on the road). This is unacceptable. None of the students should be in the same situations that I faced.-Treatment in this school is not fair. A lot of the decisions in this school are bizarre and also biased to some of the students.In conclusion, this school should REALLY keep what I, and a lot of the other students and parents, say. This is school, a place where a kid grows and obtains knowledge to become a useful member of our society, but if theyre met with the same conditions as this school, theyre most probably going to go through one rocky trip. Granted, this doesnt mean that the school doesnt have good aspects, it just needs to work on enhancing them.Addition: To a lot of the students that review this school, keep in mind that you should not include your own opinion (except if its something critical that you should talk about for the people who are thinking of joining this school). Please keep in mind that reviews are useful as they reflect said place. In short, please write the facts, not your opinion.
