In context
Its mid-range fee is about 51 per cent above the median for Indian (CBSE/ICSE) schools in this guide (AED 15,000). It is one of 46 schools in this guide currently rated Very Good. As a CBSE school, its academic year runs April to March — plan relocation timing around this.
Worth comparing: New Dawn Private School (AED 8,000 to 15,000 a year) — a lower-fee option in the same area; Credence High School (AED 15,000 to 27,000 a year) — a lower-fee school with the same Very Good rating and curriculum.
These comparisons are computed from the verified data in this register, not editorial opinion.
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 for seven consecutive inspections since 2015–16 — one of the Indian sector’s most stable records.
- KG Outstanding in English, mathematics and science — and in 2023–24 the Secondary phase joined it at the top rating.
- English and science Outstanding across all phases, with a PIRLS score of 598 — delivery that punches far above its AED 18,000–27,000 fees.
- A settled leadership story: the principal in post since 2018, with teacher turnover down from around 20% to 12%.
What they asked the school to improve:
- Average class sizes around 35 are the honest trade-off at this price point — ask how support reaches the quiet middle of a large class.
- Seven years at Very Good with the Outstanding threshold in sight: ask what the plan to cross it looks like.
Inclusion (students of determination): 155 students of determination in a school of over 2,700, supported by 155 teachers and 28 teaching assistants. The honest published finding, and the reason this entry carries a warning rather than a recommendation: support for students of determination, while present, is described as inconsistently delivered, and teaching quality in the Primary and Middle phases falls short of the standard achieved in Kindergarten and Secondary. A family needing intensive SEN support should weigh that carefully against the school’s genuine strengths elsewhere. 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.
