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.

In context
It is one of 85 schools in this guide currently rated Good.
These comparisons are computed from the verified data in this register, not editorial opinion.
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 in 2023-24, and a long-established school - founded in 1986, making it one of the older private schools in Dubai, operating an Arabic-medium Ministry of Education curriculum in Jumeirah.
- Strong value against its fee level, with a well-stocked library, fully equipped science laboratories and - named specifically - a dedicated SEN inclusion section.
- For families wanting a Ministry of Education curriculum taught in Arabic rather than an international programme, this is a competitively priced option in a central location.
What they asked the school to improve:
- We have not established a published fee range for this school in sources we can verify, and we will not estimate one - request the KHDA-approved fees fact sheet directly through the KHDA portal.
- Good is the regulator’s benchmark, not its ceiling: ask what the current improvement plan funds and whose job it is for moving beyond it.
- An Arabic-medium 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): The school operates a dedicated SEN inclusion section - a named, physical part of the school rather than a policy statement, which is more than many schools at this fee level can show. We have not found a separately published inclusion rating in the sources we can verify and will not infer one. Ask how that section is staffed, how many students of determination are on roll, and how support reaches the ordinary classroom rather than only the SEN room. 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.
Visit kit
Questions worth asking on a tour - tuned to this school’s rating and curriculum:
- Who leads inclusion here - and may we meet them before enrolling?
- How much staff turnover did you have last year, and why?
- What are actual class sizes this term - not the maximum?
- How and how often will I hear about my child’s progress?

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:
- its fees - this school has not published them
- 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 Shurooq 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.
