Nord Anglia International School Dubai

Outstanding education, warm community and proper nurturing to students from the very early stages.

My daughter has been going to Nord Anglia for 3 years and absolutely loves it. I love the atmosphere and creativity in the school too, and honestly would have loved to be a student here myself

My kids are studying here and I must say that the school lacks in so many things and my main concern is when they don't listen to parents requests like other schools are catering in dubai. I have twins and I have been requesting them and I met the primary head personally to put them in one class because of many reasons. One, if something is going on in one's class and other doesn't have.and then there are cries and fight after school. 2, if one has different sports team and there's one parent available then the parent is jumping here and there to cheer them both. 3, one has swimming one day and other other has on another day.the principle asked me to talk it out with the teacher and teachers they make sure they convince you to the point you realise that there's no point in explaining this to them because they simply don't care and when you go again to the principal, she would calmly say, dear I think it's better to listen to the teacher so I felt like a ping pong ball.so teachers know the best for your kids but the parents don't know a thing.that's what I got the message from them. So the next year they again sent them to different classes but since now it's covid 19 and I opted for (thank fully so) online classes so they are having the same timings and are studying with the same teacher.now can someone tell me why don't i have a different online teacher now? Where's the so called theory of they being independent when they are apart and have different everything? Strange and now seems baseless for teachers to put up this point.we get transferred alot and for twins they hate each other so even if they are home they always fight and play separately so there's no point of making them independent just during the class.this bubble system is also very strange too, i can't send my twins since they kept them in different bubble timings again not considering how difficult it can be for a parent.not keeping in consideration that how will one parent who has to go to office as well.will drop one kid at 8 and the other at 10 and then pick that kid up at 1 & simultaneously he manages his work as well.not everyone has a driver.if the school has this expectation.

Ps. I got a reply from the school here but I was never reached and it's nov 2020 that I edited my review again. So just understand how concerned they are.
(2023)
I am back in school, as we moved back to dubai 2023. It's sister school in Singapore was absolutely amazing. They has the most sharp and intelligent teachers there. I wish we were never back here just because of quality education.
So far nas dubai is same. They have mostly digitalised their class works so kids mostly use apps for their class work instead a fine teacher should be teaching them quick mental maths and other stuff. Like indian teachers do. They focus on apps which i downloaded during covid
So if only apps can do better then why are kids being sent to school. Better have AI schools then.
Mismanaged parking. Still after years they couldn't build a better solution for parking. Yesterday I got a prick on my leg from a plant because that's how their parking space is and when you reach to your work and look down to your feet, It's all dusty and sand inside your feet and all over the shoe. The shoes turn white from black.
The parking area is sandy and has pricky plants instead they should make this area a concrete one. This can also cause accidents as the car can skid and hurt someone.

As we look around us for inspiration and ideas, I have seen some of the most amazing drop off and pick up in repton al barsha school. The principal should visit that school and see how a parking looks like. And what parents and students deserve, when they are paying so much at these schools. I wouldn't review but principal's email is blocked. And talking to teachers makes no difference as they are given that much authority to speak to make a change.

I play football there now and then. They have 2 big pitches which you can play 11-a-side. They also have tennis courts.

By seeing the comments videos and pics as well as thoughts of faculty, I am sure that the school is providing the best education.

Moved my son here after a bad experience with another school in Dubai and it made such a massive difference in his growth and learning. Massive thanks to Ms. O'Mahony for being an exceptional educator in every possible way.

The leadership also really care about students and parents, taking the time to actually listen to concerns and address them, no matter how big or small. There's also a great international vibe to the school - where different cultures and identities are celebrated. Can't wait to see what NAS's primary experience will be like for my boy - Thank you team NAS:)

Mrs Sheradon is the worst geography teacher. All she does is make her students correct their own work, either its peer assessment or correcting the homework. This takes up an entire lesson, as a result, her classes are behind in comparison to all the others. She not only wastes time by complaining about her students using the wrong colour pen but also micromanages every single one of them. It is ridiculous.

One of the best sports facilities I have seen in a school in Dubai. Amazingly well-maintained, good job!

Very disturbing, its a night club not a school. We have to call every day to beg them to put the volume down, they never take it seriously. They keep repeating its a sport day why do you need so much loud music to run a sports day? You should be teaching these kids to respect others and their spaces rather than teaching them to do what they want and not care about disturbing a whole building with families who have newborns and small children and people who need their sleep. What a school?

23rd April 2022: And today they go again with all the noise with no respect what do ever to the community they are in. Its 11pm have some respect

I LOVE NORD ANGLIA, the zumba classes are the best.although i dont have many friends at school.i dont like the people in the school as i got my ankles broken by a year nine.although the school is great, the twirly steps is too round

Nord Anglia is amazing! When you go through the main door, it’s so cool! There is a twirly stair on each side, Left and right. There is even a piano in the entrance! How cool is that! It’s such a good school, education is fab. I recommend you to go to it

I used to go Nord Anglia and I absolutely loved it the facilities are wonderful. I am very sad that I left my friends but we still keep in touch but in all greatnesses this school is the best school.

It is a good school and has now get OUTSTANDING IB results THE TOP WAS 43! AND THE PASS RATE WAS 100% AND THE AVERAGE RESULT WAS 36.5!

Worst communication EVER for a school! Why would I want to pay $20,000.00USD for my child to go to a school when they can’t even respond to my calls/emails in a timely manner? !? ! I’m not even a parent of a student yet! I would hate to see how they would be once they have you “locked in”! When I actually got to speak to someone they were always pleasant even though they NEVER apologized for not getting back with me. We decided to not even try any longer to get my son on the waiting list! We are now sending him to GEMS Wellington! Which has an OUTSTANDING rating AND their communication is impeccable! Youguys need a communication overhaul something awful! Because I am not the first person that I know of that is saying this! I actually know ex parents that sent their kids to the school and left because of the lack of communication (among other things). Go figure!
