Iranian Towheed Boys School
Good Al Quoz, Dubai · IB
- 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.

- AED 9,646 to 19,829 a year

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 77 per cent below the median for IB schools in this guide (AED 63,000). It is one of 79 schools in this guide currently rated Good.
Worth comparing: Gulf Indian High School (AED 9,000 to 17,000 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
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:
- Originally established in 1957 — one of the oldest private schools in Dubai, on a 20,000 sqm campus in Al Quoz 1.
- The only school in Dubai running the Iranian National Curriculum and an International Baccalaureate pathway under one roof — two parallel streams, one for students targeting Iranian universities and one for those aiming at international higher education.
- Good since 2014–15 and confirmed again in 2023–24 — its ninth successive Good rating across ten inspections, with Outstanding marks for parent and community partnerships.
- English and mathematics in Middle and High school are the strongest areas, with Very Good for English attainment and progress at High school and Very Good for mathematics in Middle.
- Wellbeing Good and inclusion Good.
What they asked the school to improve:
- A stable performance plateau — reassuring, and for a family with ambitions beyond Good, an honest point of concern. Nine successive Good ratings is consistency, not improvement; ask what would move it.
- Our sources conflict on enrolment and fees, and we publish both rather than choose: one records 915 students with the Iranian stream at roughly AED 9,600 to 11,300 and the IB stream peaking near AED 19,800; another records 677 students at roughly AED 14,300 to 18,900. Confirm the current KHDA-approved schedule and which stream it applies to.
- The two streams lead to different destinations — decide which one your child is on, and when that decision becomes irreversible.
Inclusion (students of determination): Good for inclusion, matching the school’s overall judgement, alongside Good for wellbeing and Outstanding for parent and community partnerships. We have not verified a cohort figure or team structure and we would rather leave a blank. The question specific to this school is structural: it runs two parallel curriculum streams, so ask how support follows a child if they move between the Iranian and IB pathways, and whether both streams carry the same provision. 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.
