Gulf Indian High School – Dubai, Dubai, Garhoud | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

One of the best schools I have ever seen; the function, teachers, principal, and supervisors are all so good. I would give it a 5 out of 5. The 5C teacher, Mrs. Sanna Parvin, is so good at teaching. She makes her students feel like she is our mother, and she doesn’t even shout at us.

I’m extremely disappointed with the school administration. When I called the registration office, the person I spoke with didn’t even want to have a proper conversation and abruptly ended the call. This is not how you handle customer service. It would be beneficial to provide further training on phone etiquette.

If you’re thinking of applying to this school, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY. They will simply make you waste money in the name of your child. One should visit the school campus to see the building structure, which is collapsing. It has been painted and repainted over 30 years. The facilities, washrooms, canteen, reception staff—everyone and everything—are substandard for even an average-rated school. I paid the fee for the entrance exam and took it. I feel this school is infested with cockroaches and is very dusty.

Let me tell you what will happen once you appear for the exam: they’ll start being cheap. If you haven’t got a pencil, they’ll tell you to buy one from the bookstore for a simple exam. Moreover, the admissions officer is very disrespectful in the way he speaks on the phone; he speaks very rudely and hangs up while you’re talking.

If you think you did well on the entrance exam and will clear the interview, think again. In my experience, the biology teacher came in and asked me two questions which weren’t concept-based, keep in mind it had been a month since I had taken board exams at this point. When I was unable to answer the two questions, she got up and left angrily without giving me a chance, rejecting me. They made us wait two hours just for the interview, only to be treated this way, and that 70 dirhams was also a waste.

No one in this school is ready to give even simple directions; they’ll just tell you to go to the receptionist. It seems all the teachers have infectious diseases, as this school hires teachers who were rejected by Stallion HR Solutions for having infectious diseases. If you apply to this school, you are signing up for your time and money to be wasted, along with the next few years of your child’s education and the disrespect that comes with it. If you value your child’s education, do not enroll them in this school.

The KHDA rating they received is undeserved. Teachers do not have the right to touch or humiliate children in front of the class, as this can lead to serious mental health issues. There is a lot of favoritism, and not many extracurricular activities are offered. The school lacks qualified teachers; having a B.Ed degree or experience isn’t enough. Many students’ grades drop as they progress to higher grades, especially from 9th grade onwards, due to the poor quality of teaching. Teachers simply go through the motions of teaching without adequately covering the material, leading to excessive workloads for students and a lack of support for improvement. The school only appears to function adequately during KHDA inspections. Every student has the potential to succeed; however, inadequate teaching can hinder their progress.

Furthermore, the school lacks hygiene and cleanliness. The school needs to address the issues of cockroaches, flies, lizards, and potential health hazards.

Bad timing for boys, they’re going at 11:00 o’clock and coming at 7:30 o’clock. They’re not even letting them sit with friends. My son wants to change his division, and they are telling me no. They are changing for others, like Eshan Senin was in 5G, now in 5E, for so many students. But for my child, no. He is in 5F and he wants to go to 5E. Please don’t take admission in this school. I am changing my child’s school soon. This school doesn’t even deserve one star.

This school is very special to me, man. I’ve been here since second grade until tenth. The amount of memories we made, damn! It’ll always have a special place in my heart. The teaching is very good as well.

My daughter is studying in Grade 3D. Her Hindi teacher, Neeraj, is always shouting at all the children. If they ask questions and raise their hands, she yells at them and doesn’t solve their problems. All the children, including my daughter, feel that her behavior is unacceptable. I initially thought it was my daughter’s fault, but after speaking with other parents, I realized they share the same concern. Last year, when my daughter was in 2D, her teacher was kind, loving, and supportive. This year, however, my daughter is reluctant to attend school because of her Hindi teacher. The school should address this issue, as we do not want this kind of teacher for our children. She seems incapable of teaching this subject effectively, so we request a competent teacher for our children, similar to the one we had last year. Please address this matter and provide our children with a suitable teacher. Thank you.
