Contacting the school
Ask us and we will ask them

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.

Map not loaded. It comes from Google, so nothing is requested from them until you ask for it.

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

Its mid-range fee is about 40 per cent below the median for American schools in this guide (AED 33,996). It is one of 85 schools in this guide currently rated Good.

Worth comparing: GEMS Our Own Indian School (AED 7,209 to 14,696 a year) - a lower-fee option in the same area.

These comparisons are computed from the verified data in this register, not editorial opinion.

What the inspectors said

Strengths the inspectors named:

  • Good - recognised by inspectors for good academic progress, an inclusive ethos and strong parental engagement, with social responsibility and student wellbeing named as areas of strength.
  • Arabic as an additional language rated Good - notable in a market where that subject is the usual weak point.
  • NEASC and full Cognia accreditation secured, with the US Common Core curriculum and Next Generation Science Standards, and a stated priority of building an inclusive learning environment with the resources students need.
  • 1,911 students with 124 teachers and 17 assistants at a 1:16 ratio, and fees of roughly AED 16,000-25,100 - accessible pricing for a full American-curriculum pathway to Grade 12.

What they asked the school to improve:

  • Consistency of Arabic attainment and of teaching quality are the school’s own stated improvement areas - ask how they are being measured.
  • A 1:16 ratio across nearly 1,900 students means the question of how an unremarkable child is tracked is a fair one to put on a visit.

Inclusion (students of determination): Inspectors recognise an inclusive ethos and the school states an explicit priority of creating an inclusive learning environment with the opportunities and resources students need to meet their potential; specialised support for students of determination is offered - ask how it is staffed across a roll of nearly 1,900. 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.

  • 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:

  • 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 Dubai International Private School Al Quoz 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.

Would rather do it yourself? KHDA's page for this school, linked above, carries the contact details the school has registered with the regulator. We answer requests in the order they arrive, and we will tell you if a school does not reply - which is itself worth knowing before you apply.
