Avoid This School – Disappointing Experience
I had a very bad experience with this school, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who values real education. The primary education is all about memorization and pointless decorations—there’s no hands-on learning, no engagement, and no real teaching. With almost 30 students per class, there’s zero individual attention, and kids are sent outside with very little supervision. The head of primary is also a teacher, leaving no time for proper planning, let alone supporting students’ success.
If your child is smart and curious, they will quickly get bored and demotivated. If they need attention, they won’t get it. This is a school that might look good on the outside, with nice facilities and strong marketing, but don’t be fooled. Education, personal attention, and a balanced learning environment are far below what your child deserves.
Other International schools in the region are miles ahead, maybe a bit more expensive, but the difference is night and day—the return on investment is easily 10x. Don’t confine your child to an environment that will limit their potential. There are much better options out there.

Paying over 11k for my child to attend this school but still having to let a student teach a teacher how simple mathematics work? This is no joke, the administration lack professionalism in selecting capable teachers. Another issue is how most teachers lack training and experience in introducing and te... read full review
