Both of my children were there from 2013 (KG1 to Grade 5 & PKG to Grade 4). They did very well, final averages always 93% or above. We have decided to shift our kids this coming year to another school since we were not happy with the high amount of work and the structure of the SABIS system. It focuses on memorizing things instead of understanding how things work. We found the Arabic syllabus very difficult on the kids and they did not learn the structure of grammar, sentences, etc. Once again that was taught by memorizing. We had to spend alot of time and money on after school Arabic tuition. On top of that since the Arabic taught in school was so weak our kids had to spend so much time after school studying which led them to hating Arabic. In my opinion the classes had too many kids for a private school (some had +30 kids).

My kids are in ISC since they were 3 years i never face any difficulties with the syllabus. The school has a very strong system that include the curriculum, the life in the school and the activities. Its complicated to be explained right here but as i was a teacher in Kano, Naseem and Bayan i didnt find any motive to shift my kids from choueifat to where i was teaching simply because nothing was perfict and well managed as in choueifat. I rated as 5/5

My children study at choueifat School. It is very good if your child is perfect, but if your child needs support, which all children reach to at one stage or another, then this school is not the place to be.. it is tough against children and punishes parents and children when difficulties of life hit.. They make children pay the price of their shortcomings and it feels like an environment good for preparing soldiers but not to help children become creative happy adults.. and no matter how many teachers or parents raise this, school policy doesn't get reviewed.. it's not a pr9misinf school and definitely the outcome you get there isn't worth the money you pay.
