Yasmina British Academy, Khalifa City, Abu Dhabi | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Yas Mina School is the best school I have ever come across here in the United Arab Emirates. I think it is one of the best schools in Dubai.

Dear parents reading this and thinking of enrolling your kids here, my advice to you is to look elsewhere.

I was very excited for my son to join this “outstanding” rated school, expecting that he would be engaged and encouraged to be his best self.

I was set up for complete disappointment. My son joined FS2 at the new campus. The campus is beyond beautiful, but we were very disappointed with the teachers and administrative staff. The teacher keeps telling the kids how much the furniture cost so that they don’t ruin it. They are kids – they don’t care or know what 200 DHS is! Outrageous!

Administration, finance, and management are a whole other level of chaos. A complete mess. Nobody answers the phone. Getting anything done is a hectic process. We have to make many calls daily and visit their offices multiple times to ensure they communicate with each other. Such a waste of time. Having our son join Al Yasmina made our lives unnecessarily stressful because of their lack of organization and management.

AL DAR EDUCATION MUST FIX THIS!

We pay a lot for our child to study at this school, expecting that he will be encouraged to reach his full potential, but honestly, he learned more in nursery than at Al Yasmina.

The PRE department doesn’t care about anything unless it’s escalated through the Al Dar survey.

This school is very bad. There is no monitoring of teachers or assistants. The teachers are bad and do not teach the Year 1 students well.

Beautiful building, great teachers. Unfortunately, the administration is bad, and most of the reception staff are unwelcoming; one was quite rude. There are a lot of unnecessary procedures: we have a PIN code and a tag, and no one checks them, but we are asked for them. No one ever checked if I was the mother when picking up my child using the tag; they only see that you have a yellow tag. I once used the wrong PIN code for pickup, and no one called me or anything.
The tools are unnecessary if they are not used properly.
Moreover, on more than one occasion, the nursery felt so commercial, especially with the “no hat, no play” rule. You have to buy their hat for the child to play outdoors.
Unfortunately, the school has good teachers.

The campus is beautiful! Such a nice space for the little ones. I’m not sure why people don’t understand how the star rating system works.

Very clean, new campus next to Al Forsan.

Child-friendly place and warm workers
