I did my first year at the sister school, International School of Creative Science, and knew many teachers at ASCS. Both are part of the Bukhatir Group which is a family in the Sharjah Emirate who are well connected. However, these schools care only about tuition, or otherwords money.

When I was at ISCS, those at ASCS had to work Saturdays doinv admin work, most Westerners worked on Visa on Arrival and doing monthly visa runs, employment visas took 4 months or not at all, and the management do not care about education.

Has anybody on this forum worked at this school in the past year or two and, if so, would you recommend it as a workplace? As a school for young kids?

My wife works for the sister school ISCS aka International School of Creative Science. They have been a nightmare to deal with when it came to getting her employment visa. She first had to work under her tourist visa and after 7 months she finally got her employment visa and Emirates ID. The school is very demanding with frequent drop ins and observations which creates a stressful environment. Other than that its great if your Muslim as their curriculum mostly involves Islamic lecturers and the pay has been on time.

Thanks again for your response.

Does any one know if this school is in any way comparable to any one of the following:

ADEC, ADVETI, TALEEM, or GEMS ?

What type of comparisons are you looking for? In Abu Dhabi, ADEC is the administrative arm for public school education, while ADVETI oversees public vocational education and training. In contrast, the American School of Creative Science is a private school.
