Dubai International Academy – Emirates Hills

I was selecting school carefully and definitely DIA got few extra points. 1. DIA emirates hills - definitely great location ( there are few tricks for the parking and some ways to avoid traffic…one time I got 45 min for pick up and my motivation to find a faster found was very high). 2. Parents by parents recommended. I do look for curriculum and what schools offer, but the best way to actually know for what you sign up - ask parents that are currently at this school. 3. For KG 2 - this year we have Math, Arabic and Science. Also PE and swimming classes ( I really hope my kiddo finally will learn how to swim 😅) 4. Mother tongue - Italian ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ That’s definitely not easy to find. 5. Price point - this school don’t change prices based if they got popular or trendy or something like that. Some school do, out of nowhere you get you fees increased. Took a picture of there arts & crafts - it really looks cool.

This school has poor traffic management. They cause traffic surrounding their campus every morning. Letting people drop their kids on the street with their hazard lights on while blocking other motorists.

Before you decide to go to this school, please read my review. I am sorry for having to make this review. I am a former student, and I am extremely happy to say, former student. This school genuinely has no regard for the students. There were very few teachers who were genuinely nice and helpful. Every teacher makes you behave like a god in front of the KHDA. I've had 1 teacher who has told us to be us. I understand that money drives society, but money should not allow teachers to scream at students enough to make them cry (and yes I have seen it happen more than once). I was in this school for 7 whole years, I've seen it all. The teachers make you feel dumb if you get something wrong, they don't make you feel good if you get something right. You correct a teacher because they made a mistake, they make you feel guilty. They say they care, they say they will help you if you ask, but they just want to get it over with. They are there for the money. Since then I have moved to a different IB school, in a different country. It treats me with respect, it makes me feel like apart of the school, not like some trash they can throw out any minute.

@Maya we too have experienced the same unprofessional behavior from the admin employee. She was impatient, some might see it rude. Such behavior made us rethink our decision, especially Dubai is full of options.

came today to enroll our 3 children and get information, the admissions lady at the school reception was very unpleasant, offhand, and disrespectful. which gave us a very bad image of the school, if you don't like your job, leave your place you scare people away
