Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
I’m overall grateful for my high school experience in this school and the incredible staff that helped me along the way. The support of teachers like Mr. Jawdat, Ms. Naznine & Mr. Baghdadi helped me shape my academic journey greatly. Mr. David, our Head Secondary, had given us tremendous support and dedication throughout our studies, which allowed us to work hard so that we would be sufficiently trained for our future academic success. I’m also grateful for our supervisor at the time, Mrs. Raghida, for all her dedication and guidance, for her constant support, and for always going out of her way to ensure we’re in a safe, caring and challenging environment, all which have undoubtedly encouraged me to reach my full potential today.

Very good school. Properly managed. Our son is in grade 1 and we can clearly see a lot of improvement in his knowledge. We specially thank the grade 1 class teacher Ms. Eunice for doing a wonderful job with the kids. Also all the subject teachers are very professional. Good luck Al Dhafra!

I study al this school as a 6th grader and i really got to say this school is very good but they do need to allow students to wear their own jackets because the school does not have the size in stock and it’s not the students fault ??

بالأمس، تشرفت باستلام شهادة ابني عبدالرحمن (أحد أصحاب الهمم) بمناسبة اجتيازه بنجاح المرحلة الأولى من رحلته التعليمية. الحمد لله أولاً وآخراً، فهذا بفضل الله ثم بفضل الجهود الكبيرة والمخلصة التي بذلتها الأستاذة صفاء تحت إشراف الأستاذة عتاب.
أتقدم بخالص الشكر والتقدير لكنّ على دعمكنّ المستمر وعملكنّ الدؤوب الذي ترك بصمة إيجابية في مسيرة ولدي. جهودكنّ المخلصة هي مصدر إلهام وامتنان، وأدعو الله أن يوفقكنّ دائماً ويجزيكنّ خير الجزاء على ما تقدمْنَ.
