I have had a great experience at this school. The teachers are supportive, friendly, and always willing to help. The classes are well-organized, and the lessons are easy to understand. The school environment feels safe and welcoming, and students are encouraged to do their best. I appreciate the activities and opportunities the school provides to help us grow academically and personally. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to learn

They don't teach children manners or respect. I live in the neighborhood, and it's a constant, pointless disturbance. I don't see any Quran memorization or any beneficial academic foundation; the child only hears songs, shouts, and endless play. I hope no one sends their child to this awful academy, which lacks both moral and academic foundations, especially since they play music constantly, even during the holy prayer times.

One star is too little for this place 👎🏻 Imagine, I went to register my son and there was absolutely no system or organization. The little kids were crying and no one was calming them down or paying attention to them. The mother would leave her child and go away while he cried for a whole hour without anyone stopping him. And on top of that, the boys and girls were just coming and going, there were no lines or classes, it was like it wasn't even a school 🤷🏻♀️ There was absolutely no system 🤦🏻♀️ And the teachers didn't seem to know anything, all they cared about was chatting. They'd gather in a spot in the yard and all you could hear was their conversation. You're teachers, you're entrusted with a responsibility, not here for a party and idle chatter!!??

Honestly, it's a good place. The teachers and administration are cooperative. The excellent and professional introductions and the way we treat them are enough. They always care about the children. The nannies are kind to the children. They have a schedule and program that they follow, and there are groups for each grade through which the children's lessons and assignments are posted. This helps us as parents to know what our children have learned and what the teaching methods are. It's truly wonderful, God bless them.
