About

ABC Private School opened in 2015 and is currently rated Acceptable based on the only inspection report currently available on the TAMM website which dates from 2018-19.  The inspection took place in January 2019.

 At the time of the inspection had just over 1,600 students supported by 82 teachers and 5 teaching assistants.  With staff turnover running at 40% (double the UAE average), it would appear there have been some challenges in retaining staff.  Student numbers are now said to be over 2,000 taught by over 100 experienced teachers.

 

The school is led by Principal Ismat Ezzat Daou. He, together with the other members of the Senior leadership team, come from countries as diverse as Lebanon and Canada. Native English speakers are said to teach the National Curriculum of England and we have well qualified Arabic staff who teach Arabic, Islamic and UAE Social Studies.

 

Students come from mainly Arab countries, including Emiratis (28%), Egyptian (35%), Jordanian (13%) and Syrian (8%).

 

Curriculum

ABC School teaches the UK curriculum and at the time of its inspection had opened its secondary phase, offering iGCSE, AS and A-level courses which were due to be examined for the first time in 2019 and 2020. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, examinations in 2020 and 2021 were postponed.

The school website mentions Extracurricilar [sic] activities on its website but no details are provided.

 

No information about exam results for 2022, when students sat examinations as previously, is available, but the school claims a 99% pass rate at both IGCSE and A Level but does not provide any details to support this information.
