I went to Merryland all the way up until the 6th grade and I’ll tell you my experiences from over there. The teachers were some of the worst human beings I’ve met in my life, they humiliated you in front of the entire class, they care about nothing but your performance, they don’t care even a little about your mental well-being, let me add that they also physically beat you, sometimes they’d pull on my ear or just slap me and for the stupidest reasons too, once it was because I misspelled a difficult word in KG2. The buses are horrible, unclean, and the bus aunties always blame the problems on the kids, the bus drivers were reckless. Bullying was a huge issue and the principal (ms shiba) did not care at all, not to mention they only treat you like humans because of your status. I had an argument with a kid who bullied me a lot and when I fought back, they took his side. They’re also 2 faced, they change up so much when inspectors arrive

Im so happy i left this school. The teachers are so strict and embarrass you in front of the entire class. They don't let us do anything and they say the school ends at 2:00 pm but the buses usually had to leave at 2:25 pm. The ADEK guidlines state that the school should have a prayer room, the only thing is that the school does have a prayer room but we can never use it. I have only been there once in my 10 years of going to this prison. We never had any breaks except for this "lunch break" where we could not even talk to our friends and it only lasted 10-15 minutes. They change when it is inspection time so that is why they manage to get outstanding every time. I hated this school so much

There is very little extra curricula activities for students. There is lack of accountability and responsibility from cchool management regarding transportation, bullying and parents' concerns. The attitude of school management is very arrogant and unprofessional. The students are harassed in the name of discipline.

The school is toxic and the I can say that half the school would agree with my statement. The principal punishes us for the smallest things and there's not tolerance and mercy shown to the students what-so-ever, the school doesn't provide good education, (we all have to listen to the same thing and people who have a different way to learn things don't have a choice). MIS uses things where students are not shown any sympathy as they take pictures and show fear to students for the smallest reasons. For some reason we're told to not talk during "break times" which is a measly 10 - 15 minutes. and we have no other breaks. In fact that's the only time we're allowed to eat. To put things simply, we're all controlled and have no say what-so-ever. The total costs are not worth paying for what we get. And I can't see the school trying to improve either.

The school is not good place for the grooming of students. I have noticed culture of bullying and ill language, which is not effectively controlled by responsible, despite being reported. I opted for the school based on its reputation for better studies, but overall can conclude that the decision was not right....rather it spoils the students personality.

some of the staff is nice but school principal seems very strict, biased, and judges on very small details. control by fear kind of school. teachers are 0 tolerant and feel difficult to deal with kids with different learning abilities. teachers get easily get irritated.

The school had biased teachers. the education is poor as all teachers talk in an extremely Indian accent, so it is incomprehensible for students. Teachers prefer Indian students over other nationalities. The teachers are also known for faking stuff in front of inspectors from UAE AEDK, even suspending a girl for exposing them. As a student from 8G Antony Ashvin Dass I want to say this school is horrible even as an Indian. The sports and extra curricular activities are low

This school provides no extracurricular so if you re thinking of applying to good unis abroad (top US colleges) , try some other school. If you are planning to apply to unis where grades are the only thing they care about, this is it. And if your child is just starting out his/her academic career there are way better options. This is not a school where creativity and thinking for one self is encouraged. All they do is past papers which can be done in the luxury of your own house.

The bus has no rules. If one person is very disturbing the teacher will not get mad at them and also the teachers are always very strict but not every teacher
