Amazing school!! I have three kids and two of them are in Arcadia! I regret so much that we enrolled our older son into another school… but that was year 12 IB and we had no choice.. Arcadia is the type of schools you wish to attend. I wish I were a student of Arcadia! Everything from the beginning of the day where cheerful teachers and management meet you at the entrance, when you pass by the cafeteria you are greeted as a close friend and the staff remembers every child and parent by their names, when you enter your class and you see your teacher happy and peaceful, and children from all over the world! Amazing! My kids have friends from Korea, UK, Canada, Finland, India, Sweden, Italy, Jordan, KSA and many more God bless the founders of this school and the staff ❤️

We are incredibly happy with our daughter Sara Creek’s experience in Year 2D. From the very beginning, we noticed how much she enjoys going to school every day, and that alone speaks volumes. The quality of education, the dedication of the teachers, and the positive, nurturing environment have all contributed to her academic and personal growth. Sara has gained a lot of knowledge and developed a strong love for learning. We are very impressed by the successful teaching methods that have clearly made a difference in her understanding and confidence. She always comes home excited to share what she’s learned. A special thank you to her teacher Miss Sabiya Omari and the school leadership for creating such a supportive and motivating space. Sara feels happy, safe, and truly part of a wonderful classroom community with her classmates. We couldn’t ask for more as parents, and we are very grateful. Thank you for all that you do! — Tamara Creek, mother of Sara Creek Year 2D)

We absolutely love Arcadia British School! My three children have been attending this wonderful place for eight years now, and it has been an incredible experience. Everything about the school is simply beautiful. The staff, including Jaclyn, Yasmin, Mae and Louisa, are incredibly helpful and always go above and beyond. The supportive management team truly listens to parents and students, constantly striving to make positive changes. I’ve had firsthand experience with the inclusion team, who have done wonders for my child's confidence and educational journey. The school counselors are brilliant, consistently helping children with their issues and offering invaluable support to both parents and students. The dedication of the teachers is evident—they genuinely care about their students and their success. Most importantly, I would say to any parent considering ABS: it’s a very happy school. The children are happy, the community is friendly and welcoming, and the positive atmosphere is palpable from the moment you step inside. Thank you, ABS, and a special thank you to our visionary principal, Giles Pruett, whose leadership and ethos have transformed Arcadia British School into what my children proudly call "the best school in the world."

In my humble opinion, it's the BEST SCHOOL EVER!! As an educator and leader in education myself, I can honestly say this school is amazing, from top to bottom, from staff to facilities. The management is phenomenal! I can make comparisons as I have worked in various primary schools in Dubai. My children have been there since FS1, and we will never consider changing schools. The past 8 years have been the best for my children. A special thank you to Mr. Giles, who is the best principal and a fantastic human being, and to Miss Jacklyn and Miss Mariette, who are just angels.
