Do you want to enroll your child or have you been offered a job? It's in one of the newer areas of Sharjah out past University City and the Airport towards Daid.

Looks like a new school with no track record. Usually best avoided - they don't even have a website.

Well at least hurricane found a website - when I did a search earlier it was "under construction". Biggest problems - no one who can read and write English fluently (native speaker with good English spelling and grammar skills) either wrote or checked the website before it was published. Young girls in the hijab - sorry, but it's not something I agree with - it should be a mature choice, although there are many who would disagree.

The Mission/Vision statement is vague at best and appears not to have been "studied/researched" just something they've seen on other websites and figured they should have.

Most of the links don't work, they don't say who the external examiners are or what criteria they are adhering to - why would you even consider this place.
