What the inspectors said

Paraphrased from the last full DSIB inspection (2024–25 cycle) and its published record — read the complete report on the official KHDA directory.

Strengths the inspectors named:

Good on its first full inspection — a notable debut, since new schools rarely enter the KHDA system above this level.
Several Very Good features, led by the personalised learning model: curriculum adaptation rated Very Good, and student progress in English Very Good in the middle and senior years.
Inspectors credited the flexible school day and personalised learning pathways as distinguishing features rather than marketing language.
A fully inclusive admissions approach following KHDA guidelines, with the ‘Learner Achievement Passport’ used to customise learning, and an Integra support team of a leader plus five learning-support teachers, a lead practitioner for English as an additional language and seven specialist assistants.

What they asked the school to improve:

Teaching quality was rated Good throughout the school — solid, and a grade below the personalised-learning model it delivers.
A school opened in 2022 with no exam track record yet: ask what the first cohorts are being prepared for and by whom.
Fees run from about AED 30,000 in the Early Excellence Centre to AED 85,000 in Grade 12 — premium pricing against a Good rating, which deserves a direct conversation.

Inclusion (students of determination): 103 students of determination registered at the May 2025 inspection, in a school that follows KHDA guidelines on fully inclusive admissions: the Integra team — a leader, five learning-support teachers, a lead practitioner for English as an additional language and seven specialist assistants — supports students who are struggling, those needing acceleration, and those developing study and self-organisation skills. See the special educational needs guide for the questions to ask on a visit.

Inspector summaries are being added school by school as each report is read — 169 of 169 so far, dated per cycle, never invented. A school without a summary yet is unread, not unjudged.
