The only ‘school’ I have ever given one star to. And only because there’s no room for zero stars. Why? You can see the countless other reviews to answer that question. The owner’s responses are quite revealing about the kind of management you’re risking your children in the hands of.
Terrible experience. In my opinion, the school ranks below zero. The administration is useless, and there is no discipline. Eighty percent of the faculty is Pakistani, working for 500-5,000 AED. My review is extremely negative.
Studying at this school is horrible. If your son or daughter is Arabic, do not send them here. The school looks good from the outside, but inside it’s very bad. The teachers are racist, and as soon as there is any inspection, teachers act very nice. However, when the inspection is over, they will resume abusing students. The worst thing is that if you try to speak to the principal or headmaster, they will laugh at you and dismiss your concerns. They also kicked out the good teachers and brought in very bad teachers who only care about money and salaries. The school also tells staff to write good reviews, despite the reality of the situation.
Sir Nadeem is one of the worst teachers ever. He insults students when other teachers are not around, but when the headmaster is there, he acts like he has done nothing wrong. His usual lines are “Inshallah, you will go to hell,” “Go to hell,” “What goes of your father?” “Inshallah, your parents will suffer in the long run.” The headmaster is very similar. He acts like he cares, but he really just wants his promotion. He usually takes the Arabs’ side and lets them do whatever they want. He tries to act nice in front of Miss Khadijah, but he really isn’t like that. I don’t know who made him headmaster; he barely speaks proper English. Sir Nadeem also lacks basic and proper English skills.
This school is the worst you can go to in Abu Dhabi. I sent my son there for one year, and he was bullied because he is Egyptian. The principal started laughing when he heard the story.
Yes, indeed, the school is improving in terms of its look and classroom furniture renovations, which is a basic right of all children. They realized this a little late, but thank goodness they did. As a parent, I’m still concerned about the quality of education and teaching strategies. How is the new management assuring parents about lesson delivery from teachers? How will they ensure that each child is on the same page when it comes to learning? Currently, I’m struggling to find answers to these questions. Since the new management arrived, the school stopped answering calls. The principal is not available to meet with parents, and the vice principal is unaware. We are hearing a simple answer: “We don’t know anything, but the new chairperson knows.” So, how can we ask the new chairperson? Please advise if anyone knows.
This school is very bad. I have been falsely accused of being gay, vaping, smoking, and other things. Teachers won’t let students sit together. There is a lot of fighting in the boys’ section. This school is ruined (and always has been).
