They don鈥檛 have sense in dealing with kids they are very very tough with 4 years kids And also they don鈥檛 know how to handle the teenagers and dealing with them extremely bad and they also differentiate between arabs and other nationalities .the front office employees except mr. Kenan are very tough and not helpful Not safe environment for the students
Alright, to start off,I will say that WSS is fine IF only you're planning to stay there from KG-GRADE 5, but starting on from 6th grade, it really is torture. The teacher's are absolutely terrible, their accents and the way they speak can't even be understood in most lessons. And the way they 'discipline' students are bogus! Quick story time, during a lesson in the science lab with a certain teacher in the 8th grade, a student forgot her notebook. That's totally normal right? Everyone forgets and thats totally normal and can be excused since it was her first time too that she forgot her notebook, but noooo anonymous teacher of course HAD TO shout at them in front of the whole class, while the student was crying, anonymous teacher had the audacity to say ''how do you forget your notebook but not your food?'' like really thats sickening, a bunch of sheet of papers compared to our daily necessity in life while staying in the school for 8 hours a day. Very very sickening and says a lot, this is their so called 'discipline'. And she spent a whole hour the previous day talking about how we should greet our teachers in a polite manner, and needless to say I agreed despite her being terrible maybe because I have some manners. What happened the next day? She will just blankly stare at you. To make it easier for the parents - I'll list down why this school is terrible to go to: 1. Extracurriculars are only available for students from Y10 to Y12, by then who knows if you have enough time to actually focus on those skills with all of that workload? Especially with upcoming IGCSE'S. 2. Don't expect your child's vocabulary and grammar to improve in this school, as I mentioned before, the teachers' way of talking and their habits are absolutely gross. 3. This school is like a play on a stage in front of an audience, I can tell. I've been here for 9 years at most. How do i know? We have this time called inspections. That is the only time where teachers actually try putting effort into students to show that this school is ''amazing''. In reality, ask any student who is genuine about their feelings, and they will describe the school the same way I did. 4. You are not only expected to put your budget into the school fees, but for additional electronics as well. It's like a type of drug for students!especially from young age, think about it. Having an iPad from the age of 5 and expected to carry it onwards every single day at school. Not only will it damage your child's eyes but their mental state as well!. 8 hours a day and you're expected to use it the whole time. This is children we are talking about! PARENTS PLEASE TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION ON PUTTING YOUR CHILD HERE.ITS ABSOULTELY TERRIBLE.
Excellent school awesome teachers.

I've been in this school for 3 years, and nothing has changed. Teachers: Most are Indian/Pakistani, which isn't a problem, but their accents and grammar is poor. Students: Most are Indian/Pakistani/Egyptian, which again, isn't a problem, but I can guarantee you that 100% of them no matter which country, they're all either really immature, really silly, really annoying, tasteless, or even all. The only students who aren't immature or silly or annoying are the smart ones. Principal, Vice Principal, and other staff: Some aren't respectful to parents, some are fine. Exams: This is what bothers me the most. Since all the years I've been in this school, they have to give us all lessons of all the terms we've been in, for example, in Term 3, the units and topics will be from what we learnt in the WHOLE YEAR. Not just that, in Term 2 we learn term 2 topics and term 1 topics. So we basically study the same thing but with more units over and over for a whole year. And once, there was a massive science exam, and as expected, the units were everything we took in the whole year. What did that cause? Anxiety, depression, physical and mental health problems, all at once. I can't even do my religious activities. That's not it. After all the pressure and torture, the only units that came in the exam was just from term 3 topics. That made depression worse, heavier, and stronger. And then comes the worst subject of all, Math. This subject took everything from me. It took all the happiness left in me. It took everything. The exam wasn't like the science exam, it was just too much. You expect us to study all the subjects we took in the whole year, in all the 365 days in this school? This doesn't feel like a school anymore. It feels like a concentration camp. In fact, all schools are like this anyway. Schools are basically prison for 6 hours. They give us a specific time to eat, same thing in prison. They give us unnecessary work to do that would never benefit us in our lives, same thing in prison. We should obey everything a person says, same thing in prison. Is this how schools should be? All those centuries and schools never changed. But anyways, back to this school. First off, giving us the same thing to learn in all terms is all out unacceptable. Second, giving us tons of work to memorize and then at the end giving us just 10% of what we learnt in the exam is absolutely barbaric. Rules: This is where it really doesn't make sense. There's this student in our class who CLEARLY cheats, and he cheated in all exams in all terms, and he didn't get any warning letters, despite the countless complains from students. And once, a teacher saw a student cheat clearly, and she LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT. What is this? That's mental. Absolutely mental. And there's another student, who fought in the middle of the class, and they legitimately caused havoc, chaos and mayhem. And what did he get? An incident report. Fighting multiple times in the class does NOT deserve a piece of paper. He deserves to get expelled. There's 3 students like this. THREE. That's not giving mercy. That's even more torture for the students. They literally stop the teacher from teaching for the whole lesson. In just a sentence, the school gives the worst people the simplest punishments, no matter what they do. Even if the actions they do was a complete abomination of mankind, they won't get any sort of serious punishment. So, what does this school need to do? It needs to stop causing people to lose all their brain cells learning all the lessons in all the terms and then giving them 10% of what they learnt in the exam, they need to stop causing depression, anxiety, and pressure, they need to stop giving mercy to the worst students to ever step foot on the school property, and they should BE A NORMAL FUNCTIONING SCHOOL. Update: The school's exams are now even worse and extremely tiring. In the second term, most exams were on computer. But some parents somehow found it ''hard'' and complained. Now guess what? We have to do 2 EXAMS. One on computer and one on paper.
