I wasn’t initially planning to write this, but I feel it’s important to share my experience so that other parents don’t have to endure what we went through. My son attended this school for one year, and during that time, we were pushed into seeking psychiatric help for him. The school also insisted that we hire a shadow teacher, even though this wasn’t recommended by his doctors. They made it clear that this was the only way he could continue his education there. To make matters worse, my son was excluded from graduation, which left him feeling deeply upset. The school failed to explore other solutions, such as changing classroom environment or considering the psychologist’s advice, which could have helped him cope better. Instead, he became a depressed child with no friends, who developed anger issues. The school’s approach had a severe negative impact on my son's mental health, and understandably, it also affected ours. The easiest solution for them seemed to be simply pushing us into hiring a shadow teacher so they don’t have to deal with the situation. I am incredibly grateful to KHDA, who stood by me and supported us through this difficult time. They genuinely cared about my son’s well-being and encouraged me to consider whether I wanted to continue at the same school or explore other options. After seeing how unhappy my son was, I knew we couldn’t stay. Now, he is thriving at a new school, surrounded by a supportive and loving environment. He is a changed and happy child, excited to go to school every day.

Don't waste your child's time and energy on such a school this isn't a place where my child WANTS to be especially for my daughters as this school contains unusual racial discrimination they don't allow girls to have different trips to different places for example wild wadi or yes island

First of all, all of the people who rated 5 stars are probably told by the staff. Secondly, this school has a few extremely good teachers who honestly deserve all of our respect. However, the school is poor in many ways. The staff don't care about the students. They always take sides with teachers when it comes to any job. Furthermore, they tend to ignore our requests. In addition, I feel like the school is lacking in cleanliness. Everyday I have to walk by ketchup on the floor... everyday. And, the toilets are always dirty, they smell really bad. The soap looks like it came out of a neon light, and I see it in a bucket that has water for the bathroom.However, the curriculum is good, the subjects are also good. But the problem is, some teachers cannot covey ideas or lessons to us. Therefore, elective subjects tend to get hard. Finally, this school deserves a 1 star. Wait, there is no 0 star option!

Worst school in Dubai wont recommend going there , and you cant understand anything from most the teachers, and the 5 star reviews are from the sons of the teachers , so they are basically rating themselves and i know these things because i know all of them in person...
