Nord Anglia International School Dubai, Dubai | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

My daughter has been going to Nord Anglia for three years and absolutely loves it. I love the atmosphere and creativity in the school, too, and honestly, I would have loved to be a student here myself.

Let me make one thing clear: NAS Dubai does not deserve its KHDA rating. At best, it is below average. From the administrative team and teacher standards to senior management, the school lacks responsibility, respect, integrity, and commitment, which is ironic given that these are supposed to be its core values. They do not care about parent feedback; instead, they send long-winded emails justifying their subpar behavior until you give up. The support team and senior management engage in a game of ‘cover-up’ for any wrongdoing on the teachers’ part, gaslighting both you and your child.

Do not be fooled by the facade of this school. Save your money and enroll your child in a better school that values your child’s welfare and parent feedback.

From applying to joining the school, the process has been excellent. The administration is very polite, as are the teachers around the school. If you contact the teachers with any problem, they solve it the same day. It is a huge school, so for sure, there are a lot of positives and negatives, and we know it’s not easy to manage, but from what I’ve seen, they are doing an excellent job. Bullying is a worry for most parents. You can have incidents of kids annoying each other, but they honestly deal with it and control it quickly, which I respect them a lot for.

The staff is really respectful overall, and I have nothing to complain about. Sure, we have traffic, but almost all schools everywhere in the world have traffic during pickup and drop-off. At least they improved the situation by opening different gates.

Because of the school’s size, I feel kids don’t have an opportunity to join some clubs or sports, which I think is unfair, as when you join, you are paying for all these benefits.

The school has a friendly international community and many events that keep kids, teachers, and parents connected.

Best of luck to their year 13 students, and we are looking forward to knowing which universities they got into.

We went with our school twice for gymnastics competitions. They seemed like nice and really huge places.

Outstanding school, outstanding faculty! They have set the bar high. Yes, there are some logistical issues with parking and a couple of other things (unimportant in my opinion), which I’m sure will be resolved with time. However, when it comes to what matters, they have gone the extra mile! I give them 10/10 when it comes to: inclusion, flexibility, attention to detail, transparency, educational level, professionalism, support, communication, and most importantly, overall child well-being. They do not force the child; they make them love it! Child-led learning is the key to a child’s heart. Combine that with exceptional educators, and you get the best environment for children to grow and learn happily.

I was so impressed when I took the tour last year and saw how the teachers were interacting with the kids. I saw happy kids!
The community is awesome. No school is perfect; we might face some issues in the future, but with such a supportive system, I’m also sure that we can find a solution for whatever it is. Simply put, they make you feel at home, and you make an instant connection. This is year two for us, and up until now, it has been wonderful!

There is a difference between teachers and educators. Up until now, and from our experience to this day, I can honestly say they have educators of the highest caliber!

For some reason, hundreds or even thousands of private cars arrive at this school to drop off/pick up their children. The school does not appear to have buses for student transport. All roads leading to and from the school are single-lane. Almost everyone spends hours stuck in traffic daily.

There are no paved sidewalks or parking areas for drop-off/pickup. Every other day, a car gets stuck in the sand, leading to further chaos.

The school’s management is very unprofessional, especially considering its wealth. It’s pathetic.

Outstanding education, a warm community, and proper nurturing for students from their early stages.
