Reviews

I have been a student in this school for a few years and I have never been more dissatisfied EVER. The principal is untrained and does not know how to deal with bullying. And the teachers are very unprofessional and do know how to teach, They SIMPLY do not care if the students are sleeping, talking, fighting or literally leaving the class. And I would constantly get bullied and Every time I complain to the counselor about bullying he always finds a way to make it my fault, Not to mention they were barely any activities, Out of the 3 years I was in this school there was only 1 FIELD TRIP. Please do not be fooled by the images this school is very dirty in and a huge disaster in reality. And Please do not enroll your children in this school it is not worth your money there are much more schools that are 10x better and are WAY cheaper
Ive been in this school since KG 3, am now grade 7,the football pitch needs serious maintenance,classrooms also need a bit of maintenance,i hope you see this before the end of tremistor 1,and fix it in the meanwhile
I’ve been in this school since nursery, I am currently in the 5th Grade of elementary. The teachers are nice, but the administration isn’t the greatest. My teachers tell me that the administrators are always watching, but unfortunately I haven’t seen one since the start of the semester. It’s very disappointing, really disappointing. If your school want’s my parents to continue to pay you for my educational needs, please fix the schools administration. I have also seen teachers taking the boys 1-3 out to play at the playground at learning time. It’s utterly absurd, I
if I don’t see even the littlest change in the administration i’ll be disappointed. I know i’m a child and you’ll think “oh they’re just a child they don’t understand.” Even though you say that i’m still here paying to be here and if you want me to continue paying to be here then fix it, i am sincerely trying to say this politely. Thank you if your reading this.
We do appreciate the professionalism of the stuff at the special education team specially Miss Norah, who showed too much care toward our daughter Inna.
She was so helpful in assisting us and guiding us in order to get the best of education and to move our daughter from section to another at the right time and giving her the chance to explore and get better values and benefits in such great school.
No idea about the quality of education but the location and building is awesome.
My daughter git yelled by the nurse because she disnt do anything a random student said she did it And then my daughter came home crying
I've been a student at this school for currently 3 semesters, this is what I have to say:

Education/ Instruction

Education is about 50/50 in this school, there are about 3-4 classes I'm aware of that have teachers giving "free time" on a daily basis. It happens so frequently you'd get bored of it, basically letting students scream, run around, and do some immature acts around the classroom, last semester in Arabic class I barely touched the book due to the amount of free time that was given, the whole thing felt like a big disadvantage. However, some other Common Core subject's teachings are decent (E.g: English, Math, Science) though sometimes they can be slightly laid-back. They also hold "big" projects per semester which is pretty nice.

As for Instruction in class, It's pretty clear for the most part, except for a few classes where we get little to no instruction at all. Homework is usually only once per week, My biggest concern with it though, is in exams. Our review material in exams, is an ALREADY FILLED OUT worksheet with answers. The problem is that those EXACT questions in the worksheet come in the exams, which is basically cheating. Some students might not fully understand the subject, but still get good grades regardless by memorizing the answers of these worksheets.

Events:

Frequent Dress-Up Events on Thursday, I've dressed up at least 10 times throughout the school, I don't know if this is common in other schools, but I found it strange, they have different themes such as Red Day, Throwback Thursday, Dot Day, Pajama Day, etc.

STEM Fair, I think they hold this event once per academic year, basically where students present projects that are associated with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.

Students:

Most students can be rude, throwing trash on the floor, constant swears and other profanities, gossiping insults about teachers, inappropriate language and/or drawings on the bathroom walls, breaking school dress codes and using phones to scroll on social media and/or do questionable things on it, there are only so few I've seen not do this.

Teachers:

MOST of the teachers are laid-back and focus on the topic at hand until completed, which is nice, but SOME of them are a bit too laid back, by that meaning scrolling on their phone and eating in class. I've also seen that whenever school advisors check if we're hiding any phones (which has only happened twice by the way) teachers actually help the students by hiding it for them, I've seen a group of maybe 20 students coming into to ask a teacher if she could hide their phones, which she did. She kept them in a big bag until the phone check was over, and all of the girls got their phones back.

Personally, my rating would be 2.5. Not the worst school but definitely not your first choice, I would recommend finding a better one if you can.
‏An outstanding school with qualified teachers.
‏Saudi teachers are young & very closed to the young boys.
‏Students are their priority. They care about the student's psychology in addition to the academic side. The administrative staff is excellent led by Mr. Chris and Mr. Khalid, as well as academic advisors.
Highly recommend this school.
