Al Shurooq Private School
Good Jumeirah, Dubai · International / other
- KHDA rating
- Good
Good standards in most areas. The most common rating among Dubai schools. From the 2023–24 inspection cycle — now more than two years old. KHDA has not completed a full cycle in two consecutive years, so this rating, and every rating on every other site, is older than it looks.

In context
It is one of 79 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 — 212 of 212 so far, dated per cycle, never invented. A school without a summary yet is unread, not unjudged.
