We hold this school's details and put questions to it for parents - fees for a year group, whether there is a place, what happens next. KHDA's own page for the school, linked below, carries its published contact details if you would rather go direct.

What the inspectors said
Paraphrased from the last full DSIB inspection we could verify (2023-24 cycle) and its published record - read the complete report on the official KHDA directory. These findings are from the 2023-24 cycle and are now more than two years old. Leadership, staffing and provision can change substantially in that time - see the note below on why every rating in Dubai is older than it looks.
Strengths the inspectors named:
- Good, on a Ministry of Education curriculum running KG1 to Grade 12 in Oud Metha.
- Genuinely affordable at a Good rating - roughly AED 8,500 to 18,300 with an average around AED 12,900, which places it among the better value-for-rating propositions anywhere in this register.
- A central location in one of Dubai’s established residential districts, serving families who want an MoE curriculum rather than an international programme.
What they asked the school to improve:
- Good is the regulator’s benchmark rather than its ceiling - ask what the current improvement plan funds and who owns it.
- We have not verified enrolment, teacher numbers or detailed phase-level inspection findings from sources we trust, and have not estimated them.
- An MoE curriculum is a different pathway from the British, American or IB routes most of this register covers - understand where it leads for university entry before enrolling.
Inclusion (students of determination): Good in KHDA’s official Inclusion Rating Table, matching the school’s overall judgement - and a Good inclusion rating at an average fee around AED 12,900 is a strong value proposition on the measure that matters most to a family whose child needs support. We have not verified a cohort figure or team structure and we will not invent one, so ask how many students of determination are on roll, who holds the inclusion champion role, and what is charged beyond standard tuition. 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 - 221 of 230 so far, dated per cycle, never invented. A school without a summary yet is unread, not unjudged.

What we don't know about this school
Every other page on this site tells you what we have verified. This one tells you what we have not, because a register you cannot calibrate is worth less than one you can. We do not currently hold:
- whether it is co-educational, boys or girls
- how many children are on roll
- its facilities - sports, arts, science, library
- published exam results or university destinations
- what registration, transport, uniform and meals add to the fee
- the year it opened - the figure we held was wrong on every school we checked
None of it is guessed or filled in from a similar school. Ask for any of it using the form below and it moves up the queue - requests are how we decide what to collect next.
Ask this school a question - we'll do the asking
Tell us the year group, and we will ask Al Rashid Al Saleh Private School what it costs, whether there is a place, and what the next step is. Then we send you what they say. Every answer we get is also checked into this school's record, so the next parent finds it already here.
Your details stay with us. We contact the school ourselves, and we do not pass your name or address to them, or to any agent, unless you ask us to. No school pays to appear in this guide, and none can pay to change what it says.
