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:

The only Chinese-curriculum school in this register, opened in 2020, now registered with KHDA in Mirdif, to serve a growing community that previously had no dedicated option in the emirate.

What they asked the school to improve:

Acceptable for inclusive education in KHDA’s directory and its published 2023-24 ratings table - a grade below the school’s Good overall judgement, and the floor the regulator accepts.
We have kept this page short on purpose. Beyond its inclusion rating we have not verified this school’s overall judgement, fee range or inspection findings from sources we trust, and we will not invent a figure. We have published what we can stand behind and marked the rest as unknown rather than leave the school out of the register entirely, which is what we did until today.
If you are considering this school, read the full report on the KHDA directory and treat a visit as essential. Ask who leads inclusion, how many students of determination are on roll, and what the improvement plan funds this year.

Inclusion (students of determination): Acceptable in KHDA’s directory and its published 2023-24 ratings table - a grade below the school’s Good overall judgement. Beyond that rating we have verified nothing about this school’s inclusion provision and will not estimate it. Read the full report on the KHDA directory and treat a visit as essential. 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:

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 Chinese School Dubai 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.
