Overall

This was the first school I went to, I was there for around 9 years. It was really hard to actually want to go to school. The teachers are mostly really rude and they treat students terribly, they do not care about anyone's wellbeing and are overly mean and strict (not all of them, there were exceptions but very few) They call parents and humiliate students in front of the class for a laugh, the teachers are terrible. There are barely any sports and mostly you have to pay and it's not available to everyone. On the creative side of things, there is almost nothing. No music or art or anything to showcase students' talents. The pressure on students to do well is over the top. Getting good grades was the only thing students had to think about and the pressure from teachers and sometimes parents were horrible. It is not good for student's mental wellbeing. Lastly bullying was very common and the teachers, no matter how much you asked for help did not care about doing anything. I remember many, many bullies and fights that took place, it didn't feel like a safe environment. Overall I hated most of my time there and I feel sorry for my friends here right now. Do better merryland.

Overall

The teachers become strict easily. They always say '' I will give you one nicely,simply talking''. The urdu teacher Ms Saima always gets mad at small things and starts calling our parents on small things. The English sir of grade 7 shows too much favoritism.The hall conductor is always screaming and shouting. The washroom aunties always kick us out of the washroom. The bus drivers are so bad they always look at you in a bad way. The bus aunties shout so much and then blame the problems on the children. The buses are so dirty they never clean them and the bus aunties stink. The teachers act so nice when inspectors come they tell the children to act nice and kind. This school can't even afford a single tissue box. The teachers ask the primary children to bring so many glues and keep them with them for years. They don't even have a canteen they should have cause we students have to stay back and get hungry. They are always drinking tea in front of us. The teachers pay to much attention to the Arabs and everything for the Arabs. For the UAE national day, they always make Arabs dance never us. Some girls in the school always ask for food as if they haven't eaten for days. Don't admit your child to this school it is a hell of many cockroaches and insects in the classrooms.

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
