Overall

The teachers are outstanding! They care and connect with their students at all grade levels. The leaders are politicians and the curriculum definitely needs modernizing. Our elementary student is not getting good literacy (we supplement at home - I don't think they heard Sold a Story or use current reading research). They are not actually doing what they said they did when we were started almost two years ago (personalized learning is what they said they do but they use differentiation and some student choice and they are absolutely different). The service program is super although no longer required for our HS student, which I personally don鈥檛 like. The AP program is growing. We prefer IB and that has shrunk for next year. The behavior of students is typical but definitely better than others in the region. The sportsmanship of some school sports teams is unacceptable and that is 150% on leadership for not supporting the coaches in our experiences. We saw this with other situations last year too. Some kids went to jail and still did some activities. We don't know all the details but it made us uneasy. The new building is great although there is not much in Saadiyat yet. ACS is not as good of a school as the two other international schools we have attended (one regional, one in east Asia) but we think it is probably the best in the UAE especially the teachers.

I have been going to this school since I was in 3rd grade, and so much has changed, in a good way, I was able to make friends, and learn things that were completely new to me, and in all it is a great school, and you should encourage your children to go to it.

My old school in SAUDI ARABIA, of all places, was more enjoyable than this garbage example of an education establishment. Some teachers are unfair, some teachers don't even know how to do their job properly. There are very few good teachers in this school. Because of that, my depression increased by x12. But to be fair, this is the best school in Abu Dhabi, and its campus, while old, still holds up pretty nicely.
