Good Dubai Sports City, Dubai · American
- 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.

How far is this from another school? What the bus costs
If your children may end up at different schools, the distance that decides your mornings is the one between them, not from home to each.
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 — including a Good rating for inclusive education in KHDA’s published table.
- A student-to-teacher ratio of about 1:11, among the more favourable in this register, in a US-curriculum school in Dubai Sports City.
- Accredited through NEASC and recognised by the College Board, so the American pathway is externally validated rather than self-declared.
What they asked the school to improve:
- Attainment in mathematics and science is Acceptable above the Elementary phase — the core academic limitation in the published record, and the thing to ask about if your child is heading into Middle or High School.
- 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 fee schedule directly.
- As with any school holding Good rather than Very Good, ask what the improvement plan funds this year and who owns it.
Inclusion (students of determination): Good for inclusive education in KHDA’s published table, on a student-to-teacher ratio of about 1:11 — favourable adult capacity for a school of this size. Ask how that ratio translates into named inclusion roles, since a good ratio and a staffed inclusion team are not the same thing. 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.
