Reviews
- A 30-response parent survey gives the school 70% positive, with 83% saying they would recommend, against 17% who would not. Signal is split along phase lines.
- One parent said in early 2025: "Great teacher to student ratio. Very good teachers. Great facilities," and praised the leadership opportunities offered to students. Another said the inclusion team had supported their son extremely well, while noting fees were a backbreaker.
- A 2023 parent review said: "The primary teachers are excellent... The secondary school leaves a lot to be desired. Unruly students and incredibly high staff turnover." Roughly 31% of surveyed parents say their children need external tutoring.
- KHDA rating sits at Very Good and has held since 2018-19. Foundation Stage is rated Outstanding by inspectors; secondary is the weaker phase by parent and inspection signal.
- Around 52% of parents agree fees offer good value; 16% disagree, above the UAE average of 11%. The campus serves Nad Al Sheba 1, Meydan and Dubai Silicon Oasis catchments.
Positives
- Inclusion team. Parents using the SEND pathway describe substantial, individualised support.
- Teaching quality and ratios. Recent parent comments call out small classes, attentive teaching and student leadership opportunities.
Considerations
- Strong primary, weaker secondary. Foundation Stage rated Outstanding and primary teaching praised; secondary draws explicit criticism on student behaviour and turnover.
- Fees. Above-average proportion of parents disagree fees offer good value; 31% report needing external tutoring.
