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:
- Very Good at the Meydan campus in its first formal inspection there, 2023–24, with the original Muhaisnah school rated Very Good for five previous inspections.
- Governance and partnerships with parents rated Outstanding, with inspectors commending governors for high levels of expertise and mentorship, and highlighting the trust families place in school leaders.
- In the inspectors’ words, the principal, governors and strategic leadership team have implemented ‘a coherent vision which incorporates wellbeing and student-centred learning’.
- Outstanding results in French, mathematics and science in Maternelle, positive external Brevet and Baccalaureate outcomes in Lycée, and teaching strongest in Maternelle and Lycée where teachers are described as expert in how children learn best.
- A 1:12 ratio across roughly 1,170 students at fees of about AED 24,600–52,800, and permission to teach Lebanese Arabic alongside the Emirati Arabic programme.
What they asked the school to improve:
- The overall Very Good rating understates a report containing a substantial proportion of Outstanding judgements — read the phase detail.
- The strongest teaching sits at the two ends of the school, so ask about the middle phases specifically.
Inclusion (students of determination): Very Good — just over 100 students identified with additional learning needs, and the inspection commentary is unusually specific about method. Inspectors commended a clear inclusion policy, effective early identification using diagnostic tools including CAT4, and strong collaboration between teachers, parents and the inclusion team, with students benefiting from personalised learning activities and adaptations that let them progress alongside peers. The school maintains detailed observation logs and provides well-targeted interventions. Three development points are published with it: refine personalised plans so they carry measurable outcomes, align diagnoses fully with KHDA categories of need, and strengthen provision for gifted and talented students. Parent partnership is rated Outstanding. Two things families themselves raise: Arabic needs consolidating at Lycée level, and the impact of the Taaleem acquisition is being watched closely. See the special educational needs guide for the questions to ask on a visit.
