How would you rate Clarion School?
Do not enrol your children in this school. I withdrew my son from Pre-K after 7 days (!!). He came home terrorized, never wanted to go. They kept 5500 AED and I am still waiting for an 11000 AED refund after one month. If you consult KHDA you will also see that their rating is merely "acceptable". Really just an awful experience all around.
My daughter is still not admitted to clarion however I would like to share my amazing experience with the admissions team and how the school took the extra mile to assess my child who has a special case. It's been very unique and none of the other 4 very well known American schools did. The Principle and Admissions and head of teachers are very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable. My daughter spent the day at their premises and left very happy and positive. Will hope to join them and encourage other parents to go visit. Thanks Clarion and keep up the good work.
A wonderful and welcoming school, the progressive learning system prepares students to be life time happy learners… very friendly managment and teachers, involving the parents, feeling Part of the community.

Clarion is a wonderful school. Its a breath of fresh air in Dubai to find a school feeling so small and with such a warm community. Its down to earth approach and beautiful natural environment make it such a welcoming school for the children to go to everyday. I simply love their approach to progressive education and William is developing into such a confident, creative, curious and independent young boy because of his experiences there. It is most definitely not for families who push their children to be able to read and write as quickly as possible once they start at school - this will come at the right time when the children are ready - its the only school in Dubai where learning through investigation is not only talked about but actually implemented. Their program is 100% child lead which leads to a very high level of engagement by all of the children and a passion to learn and understand and absorb everything. William's teacher - Miss Jenny and her support teacher Miss Riva were simply amazing last year in supporting William to find his passions as well on work on his growth. He loved going to school from day 1 and never cried or felt bad about going to school. They have so many activities on offer its great on top of which their Principle Miss Lisa is a super leader! Transparent, direct, empathetic, balanced and most of all warm and caring towards all of the teachers and families in the school. You will find her personally standing at the school gate every morning to welcoming the families - whether is 45 degrees of sunshine or a desert sand storm she will be there without fail.
