I'm a girl and I study in this school but i have a lot to talk about.

First, I'll start with the horrible stuff in this school. The way the school looks from inside is OK besides that this school is REALLY old. The Building of KG and Primary 1-6 is OK and they're decorated and nice and all but it all starts from Grade 7. They don't repaint the walls there are a lot of rusts and Texts from students on the Walls. Tables are REALLY, REALLY OLD and most of them feel uncomfortable to sit on that I bring a small pillow so it could make me comfortable. Second, BULLYING. Bullying is really popular in school even from a young age. I Don't know about boy's section. But for Girl's section oh god a true nightmare. Girls bully others for the slightest things like; hair, face, clothes, body. I've never gotten bullied before, but I SAW girls getting bullied by others whether its verbal, cyber,... read full review

I have no idea how this school is still in business. When I first entered, it felt like entering an ancient villa made centuries ago, the building is really really shabby and the classrooms are extremely poor in condition, AC keeps...streaming water on the students, it doesn't drip, it streams down on us. So we cannot use the AC much. the desks and tables are very old schooled and uncomfortable, there are broken tiles and walls. the IGCSE boy's ground is literally just a compact small tiled rectangular court which can be a death area if you try to go to the canteen which is in the court, the football grounds are for literal babies...

The only good thing in class is that they have those big touchscreen TVs.

student care? gah

I have been constantly bullied and treated horribly by some of my classmates, even being cyberbullied. they did things that are against the Saudi Arabian ... read full review

I was in this school from kg3 to grade 5, some teachers are really good and kind but some are terrible teachers.

The facilities are old and dirty

If you want your child to go to the top universities in the world I don't suggest this school

I want to share my experience during admission interview of my child 4 years to kg1 , the teacher did the interview was very rude and tough which made my child scary and silent without responding to her questions , this makes her more nervous and in a very rude way she told me your son is rejected try to look for other school .
This initial behaviour gave me an impression about how bad the staff running the education process in this school , thanks God that my child wasn't accepted by this group of failed teachers .

The school is overcrowded, its a nightmare to drop/pick up your kid every day.
Teachers lack educational skills and scientific knowledge.
The school treats girls is a very restricted closed minded way. No P.E uniforms are sold by the schools, and the girls are not to wear pants! The principle makes the students wear skirts on top of their pants during P.E!
Any complaint you raise, receives silence or aggressive response from the school.
If you care about your kids education, keep them away from this school. Transferring my kid for sure.

have a mixed review of this school.

Administration: I rate 0.
They placed my child in the wrong KG class which affected him in Grade1. When I moved him up they failed to register him to the right Arabic classes.

The entire process of registration to collection of books and finding classrooms is a huge boiling pot of mess and incompetence! The school internal logistics fail miserably.
Admin is incompetent, methods used in the process students into their classrooms are at least 50 years out of date and there is no sign of the school wanting to improve anything.

We went twice to collect workbooks both times, not the entire list was given to us and the parents do not have a list to go by.

Some struggle to speak English and they teach English curriculum, my child went to the wrong class for two years the teachers said nothing!

On the other side, Islamic education and British ... read full review
