This school is absolutely incredible. We were looking for a school that genuinely cared about the wellbeing as well as the academics, and we found it. Our children (x3) settled quickly, which as a family who have moved around a lot due to job situation, can be a challenge. But from the outset they put the children at ease. My youngest is an introvert and super shy, but she is thriving. Everything from the assessment (making them feel at ease) to the class teachers welcome has been excellent. My second eldest has always been a bit of a reluctant reader, but the teacher has found ways to encourage him and also give tips on what we can do at home. Overall, so impressed with the leadership, teachers and the amazing facilities.

We are thrilled with our experience at the school so far. FS1 has been exceptional, and Miss Christie is both kind and outstanding. We have no regrets about choosing this school and are excited for the future. The daily updates through the app have been wonderful, and the transparency and communication from Miss Christie and Miss Catherine have been truly remarkable.

It’s the only reason we are still in Dubai. Great sustainability approach, good curriculum and a child that is every day happy and excited to go to school and full of amazing adventures after pickup. Great!

I did my research before enrolling our children to Arbor. And I’m so glad I chose this school. Our children are in the Early Years and we love their teachers. They have teachers concentrated for every subject. What is different about this school is that they’re not locked in a classroom. They get to learn outdoors and in different settings. The teachers are informative and share frequent updates, images and videos of the childrens progress. The one thing I am very pleased is the security and safety of the children. I’m also very pleased with the LSA (teacher assistants). They’re skilled and trained approximately. They’re not there to just comfort a child but are hands on with the teachers. It’s a positive environment.

Excellent school! Teachers and staff are so caring, and are very experienced. They individualize leaning for each student. It's very diverse, and they are experts at social emotional learning. Both of my girls have thrived at Arbor.

Our son has been attending the Arbor school for the past five weeks and we are absolutely thrilled with the positive changes we’ve seen in him during this short time. One of the most striking aspects of the school is the genuine kindness and inclusivity amongst the children. The nurturing environment has had a profound impact on our son, helping him feel welcome and supported as he transitioned into his new surroundings. We have noticed a remarkable shift in his attitude towards learning, he has developed a newfound curiosity and enthusiasm for participating in both academic and extracurricular activities. The engaging teaching methods and the school focus on sustainability and creativity, seem to resonate deeply with him, sparking a passion for learning that we hadn’t seen before. We are so grateful to the wonderful team at the Arbor school for fostering such a positive and inspiring environment seeing our son thrive here has truly been heartwarming.
