KHDA rated the school Acceptable in 2023-2024 and 2022-2023, after Weak in every inspection from 2012-2013 to 2019-2020.

Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Tuition is the KHDA-approved fee for 2026-27; KHDA records that the school requested no increase for 2026-27 and lists no tuition discount. The school's own fee page, headed "Academic Year 2026–2027 Fee Structure" and describing its fees as KHDA-approved, shows different figures (AED 8,500 for KG to AED 17,200 for Grades 11 and 12 Science, with separate Kerala Board rates) that match none of KHDA's approved fees, so KHDA's figures are shown here. Uniform (AED 299) and books (AED 449) are mandatory on top of tuition.
