Reviews
- Amity School Dubai sits in Al Qusais and runs the CBSE curriculum with elements drawn from IB and British practice.
- The KHDA inspection in October 2023 rated the school Good, an improvement on the 2019 Acceptable rating. Leadership was rated Very Good. The inspectors flagged Islamic Education and Arabic for improvement and called for more consistent assessment data use.
- One ratings source carries 128 reviews, the bulk in February and March 2025, overwhelmingly positive on teachers, transport and inclusive culture. The phrasing across the 2025 cluster is repetitive, suggesting coordinated submissions.
- A parent survey of 16 responses lands with 78% approval. Parents flag swimming, music and yoga in early years and the CBSE-with-IB-and-British-practice approach.
- Independent parent commentary is light. One parent comment in 2022 included Amity in a positive recommendation list.
- The pattern: official rating moving up, curated parent trackers strongly positive, independent survey middling-to-good.
Positives
- KHDA trajectory. Rating moved from Acceptable in 2019 to Good in 2023; leadership rated Very Good
- Teaching and pastoral culture. Edarabia reviews repeatedly praise teacher attentiveness, inclusion, transport and early-years activity range
Considerations
- Arabic and Islamic Education. Inspectors flagged both for improvement across phases, with inconsistent teaching and assessment in Arabic
- Independent parent satisfaction. WhichSchoolAdvisor's smaller independent survey with 78% approval is positive but not glowing
- Review consistency. March 2025 Edarabia cluster uses repeated phrasing, suggesting coordinated submissions rather than independent voice
