GEMS Our Own English High School Boys, Sharjah – Boys, Sharjah | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Enrolling our child in Our Own Boys Sharjah was a seamless and positive experience from start to finish. The admission procedure was well-organized, and the staff, especially Madam Susan, was extremely helpful and accommodating throughout the process. They guided us through each step, making us feel confident in our decision to choose OOB. Overall, we are impressed with the professionalism and efficiency of the admission procedure at OOB, and we look forward to our child’s educational journey here.

Today I visited this school for my child’s admission into KG1. The management is very good and professional, especially Ms. Susan. She is such a professional and positive lady. Ms. Jennifer is also very nice; she guided me through the entire admission process. It was a very easy and smooth process. Thank you.

I transferred my son to another reputable school this year but reenrolled him in OOBS due to a similarly bad experience. When I requested admission to OOBS again, they expedited the process, which impressed me.

Dear Fellow Parents,

I want to share my serious concerns about this school. From my experience, I strongly advise against sending your children here.

First, the location is terrible. It’s in a remote area that is difficult for parents, students, and staff to access. The school seems to have chosen this location to save money without considering the inconvenience it causes everyone.

Second, the school constantly requests additional funds. For example, after a minor incident involving damage to a poorly constructed wall, the school charged AED 149.99 for repairs. They required all students, even those not involved, to contribute to this cost. This is in addition to the already high tuition fees, which continue to increase.

Additionally, the school forces parents to purchase unnecessary items like magazines and diaries for AED 20 each. My child used only a few pages of the diary all year. This feels like a way for the school to generate more revenue from parents.

Another issue is the school’s pressure on students to provide perfect ratings. This creates a false impression of the school’s quality and misleads other parents. Celebrating awards based on these inaccurate ratings is dishonest.

The quality of the school’s infrastructure is also substandard. The walls are flimsy and almost as weak as cardboard. This is neither a safe nor suitable environment for students.

In conclusion, this school appears more focused on generating profits than on providing a quality education or a supportive environment. Although there are some excellent teachers, their efforts are overshadowed by the school’s numerous problems.

I strongly advise other parents to explore better alternatives for their children’s education.

Thank you for considering my concerns.

Sincerely,

Vishnav Kuttikrishnan

Today, I visited the OOS – Boys branch to inquire about admission for my son. The admissions team impressed me with their excellent policies and procedures. Despite the busy atmosphere, they managed to handle everyone promptly, and their treatment was outstanding. I believe their success in managing the rush is attributed to the well-organized system they have in place for each level and department. I am genuinely pleased and appreciative of their efforts.

It was totally unacceptable behavior from your staff when we came for admission. Thank goodness we did not get admitted. Your staff was very unprofessional when we inquired about results; they kept saying we would get an email, but we have not received any email from you. When we called, they said only selected individuals received an email? Why were we kept waiting?

Either way, it is your responsibility to inform us.

Hopefully, you will train or replace your staff.

Thanks
