KHDA 2023–2024 inspection
UAE Ministry of Education curriculum for Grades 1 to 4 (Cycle 1), taught in Arabic with English as an additional language; KHDA's October 2023 inspection noted that the school had added mathematics and science lessons taught in English. That inspection rated attainment and progress Good in Islamic Education and Arabic as a first language and Acceptable in English, mathematics and science, and students' personal and social development Very Good in all three strands. Grades 1 and 2 are assessed entirely by the school; in Grades 3 and 4 half of the annual grade comes from the Ministry's central assessments.
25 classrooms, each with a small reading station (the school's founding page and 2026-27 library policy). KHDA's October 2023 inspection found that a recent reduction in class sizes had a positive impact on learning.
A computer room with advanced devices and programmable robots, in the school's description. KHDA's October 2023 inspection found an appropriate number of laptops in the computer laboratory but limited use of technology inside classrooms.
Listed by the school among its facilities for innovation and talent, which it says is equipped with the latest technologies and learning resources.
Stocked with stories for every age group and learning resources, in the school's description; books are lent for a week, renewable, alongside the Kids RAZ and Bravo reading platforms (2026-27 library policy). KHDA's October 2023 inspection found the library insufficiently resourced.
