With a teacher-to-student ratio of 1:12, Pristine ensures that students, parents, and teachers know each other well. The school benefits from exceptional stability in both its leadership and teaching staff: Ms Shagufa Kidwai has served as Principal for over 10 years, and many of our teachers have been part of the school community for many years. This continuity means that staff understand the school’s culture deeply, families build trusted relationships over time, and the quality of care and teaching remains consistently high.

Pristine is a place where children are genuinely cared for where teachers go beyond the classroom, where the community rallies around each family, and where children feel safe, seen, and supported.
