In context
Its mid-range fee is in line with the median for Indian (CBSE/ICSE) schools in this guide (AED 15,000). It is one of 62 schools in this guide currently rated Good. As a CBSE school, its academic year runs April to March — plan relocation timing around this.
Worth comparing: Gulf Indian High School (AED 9,000 to 17,000 a year) — a lower-fee option in the same area.

What the inspectors said
Paraphrased from the last full DSIB inspection (2023–24 cycle) and its published record — read the complete report on the official KHDA directory.
Strengths the inspectors named:
- Good in 2023–24 — the step up after two consecutive Acceptable ratings, with the proportion of indicators at Good or better rising from 41% to about 88%.
- Attainment and progress in Islamic Education, English, mathematics and science now Good across all phases — a measurable, documented improvement on the previous year.
- Personal development Very Good in all three phases, with health, safety and child protection Very Good throughout — the report’s strongest ratings.
- In the inspectors’ words, the school ‘places a robust emphasis on both individual and collective wellbeing’ and ‘excels in engaging with and fostering the wellbeing of both students and staff’.
What they asked the school to improve:
- Arabic as an additional language remains at Acceptable — the one subject still below the rest.
- A young school still growing into its upper grades: Grade 11 opens in 2026 and Grade 12 in 2027, so senior-phase results have no track record yet.
- Wellbeing overall sits at Good — strong systems, not yet a top-tier outcome.
Inclusion (students of determination): Good overall, and the school describes itself as inclusive in the true sense of the word, with students of determination who have physical challenges, high-functioning autism and learning difficulties an integral part of the school culture, under an open-door policy for all nationalities. The published counterweight is specific and matters: the DSIB report flags that students of determination and gifted learners are not yet consistently challenged. Note also that this school is still maturing — Grade 11 opened in April 2026 and Grade 12 follows in 2027, so a family enrolling now is investing in a trajectory rather than a finished senior school. 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.
