My experience with Al-Hussan International Schools was extremely bad.
Honestly, I do not understand why they call themselves “international” when they are far from any real international standard.

Academically, the school is very weak. Teaching is almost nonexistent, and within a short time I noticed clear academic delay in my children. That was the main reason I did not let them continue the school year, and I transferred them after the first term. Six months were enough to see how poor the academic level was.

Cleanliness is also terrible. Dust is everywhere, and the school environment does not look properly maintained at all. A school that claims to be “international” should at least provide a clean and respectful environment for students.

Communication is very poor. There is no proper system to communicate with teachers. They have a website that is supposed to show weekly plans, lessons, and updates, but it practically never works. It is strange that they try to imitate British or international schools in name only, without applying the real standards of organization and professionalism.

Parent meetings are chaotic and badly organized. There is no structure, no proper management, and no sense of professionalism.

What is even more disappointing is that some teachers still behave with a very outdated mentality — shouting, sending students out of class, and even throwing things in front of other students. This is embarrassing, unacceptable, and completely unprofessional behavior in any educational environment.

In summary:
Al-Hussan International Schools was one of the worst educational experiences we have had.
Poor academics, poor cleanliness, poor communication, and unacceptable teaching behavior.
The word “international” does not reflect the reality at all.
Removing my children from this school was one of the best decisions I made.

Here is a shorter Google review version too:
