What the inspectors said

Paraphrased from the last full DSIB inspection (2023–24 cycle) and its published record — read the complete report on the official KHDA directory.

Strengths the inspectors named:

Good in the January 2024 inspection, a rating held consistently since 2018–19 after years at Acceptable — one of Dubai’s oldest private schools, serving a predominantly Emirati community since the 1970s.
Particular strengths in Kindergarten and High School, with teaching Good across all phases, effective use of technology and assessment data, and a regularly reviewed curriculum with good adaptation.
Highly effective health and safety procedures and strong care and support, with senior leaders showing a clear vision and actively responding to previous recommendations.
NEASC and CIS accredited, with fees from roughly AED 18,600 to AED 42,400.

What they asked the school to improve:

Attainment and progress range only from acceptable to good across subjects and phases.
Behaviour in lessons can sometimes impede learning, collaboration between students is limited, and critical-thinking questioning by teachers is variable.
The previous cycle recorded progression in international and benchmark assessments as weak across all subjects, with deficits not improving despite action-plan initiatives — ask directly what has changed since.
A new principal was appointed in September 2023, shortly before the inspection: ask what his plan has delivered since.

Inclusion (students of determination): Around 45 students of determination in a school of over 1,800, with a dedicated team providing clear individual education plans and detailed processes for identifying students’ needs. Inspectors record that ‘the effective work of the inclusion team ensures that students of determination make good progress overall’ and that personal support builds self-confidence and resilience — alongside two precise asks: ensure the targeted modifications and strategies set out in IEPs are actually included in all classroom lesson plans, and ensure planned modifications are delivered in lessons, because inspectors found support for students of determination was not always reliable in the classroom. The school’s published policy adheres explicitly to the social model of disability. The other factor parents themselves raise is staff turnover, which they believe the school could do more to reduce. See the special educational needs guide for the questions to ask on a visit.

Inspector summaries are being added school by school as each report is read — 169 of 169 so far, dated per cycle, never invented. A school without a summary yet is unread, not unjudged.
