Amazing school!!! Wonderful teachers, great principal. I have two children, one currently in FS and one in middle. All three love RIS.

Regent is a fantastic school. I like their approach to education. Classroom learning from EYFS to secondary is based on the child’s interest and level of understanding. There are many activities going on all year round, making the kids excited to go to school every morning. The parent community is active and highly involved in the school events. The staff is very approachable, and eager to listen to what the parents have to say.

Regent is a good school with great teachers. What I like about the school is the fact that teachers stay on year-on-year and are therefore familiar with my family and my kids. The school feels like a second home for my kids and there are times where they consider not going to school a punishment! Would definitely recommend Regent.

Amazing school in all respects. Highly demanding with academics and standards, but welcoming and accepting of all talents. The teachers and leadership are exceptional. This is easily the best private school in dubai.

I have two children at Regent, my eldest started in FS2 and is currently in Year 3, and my second child started FS2 in September last year. Both are very happy at the school, their current teachers are fantastic and my eldest has consistently had wonderful teachers since he started at the school. There is a very happy ambience when you enter the school, smiling staff greeting the children, often by name. There is a real sense of community and I am happy that both my boys are happy and thriving at this school.

A great school. Children are happy here. This school makes children love their school and the learning programmes. Well trained friendly teachers and staff. Premise is bit smaller but quality of the education is at its best.

What an amazing collaboration between 5C and FS2H, shows once again how lucky we are to have such amazing teachers! Thank you Mr. & Mrs Williams and thank you Regent for letting this happen. This is true "child initiated learning

I have a daughter at RIS. It's a lovely school, not too big, not too small, just the right size for my child. The academics have a little more rigour than elsewhere which actually suits our daughter fine. The school has a good range of extra curricular activities. More importantly the teachers are qualified and committed and the management is competent and accessible. I would recommend speaking to the head teacher. You will find many parents who send their kids to RIS and who are very happy. To summarise, do your homework, visit the school, speak to teachers, the heads and the parents. Also speak to the children. These are the true spokespersons of a school.

The capacity to share knowledge and exchange diverse points of view falls into the category of the cognitive heritage of humanity. As an anthropologist of sound and music teacher I hold the view that the hard - though creative - work done within your school nurtures this capacity.

I am M. Bensoud's mum (Year 3 D) and I would like to thank all the people who organised the trip to Atlantis. My daughter told me it was the best trip ever!! Special thanks to Ms. Hawke, Mr. Owens and Ms. Adams

A hearty congratulations on a delightful and very professional Year 6 show last night. It was so entertaining and great to see all the talent of our children celebrated in such an interesting way. The children (and particularly Wonchol) were beaming and proud. So much effort was put into it by the students, Ms. Walmsley, Yr 6 teachers and of course Ms. Lake and her music department. Thank you so much.

""10 Things We Love About RIS" 1. Class Teachers - always ready to greet with a smile, adding their own personal touch; professional and caring. 2. Drop Off Zone - Hooray! No parking! Thanks driveway attendants. 3. Parent Activity Afternoons - a great way to gain a glimpse of school life for our children. 4. Meet and Greet - great to have staff strategically placed during morning and afternoons, love the personal approach. 5. Homework - not too much, a good balance. 6. Procedures - RIS is well organised; it is noticeable during assemblies, sports days and lining up etc. 7. Support Staff - always happy to help and lots of them. 8. Fees - lower than some, could be worse! 9. Male Teachers - good role models for children, some schools don't have many. 10. Management - Ms. Keating and all other execs, fantastic work, you all deserve a well-earned break. Thanks for each and every one of you. Your hard work and patience is much appreciated!"

I find RIS offers a good balance of academic rigour and extracurricular. your kids will be one of the smartest around. The kids and administration here are incredibly friendly, and the sense of community is something I'd never experienced before. it's a very good school.

Regent International School is a large school fully equipped with excellent facilities and the latest technologies and teaching aids. Most of the students are western expats; the student body on the whole is international and multi-cultural.

Most of the students and faculty there are British. Most of the parents I know, including myself, who send their children to Regent International School are happy and satisfied with the learning of our child, they really focus on the children’s education.

This School is running very smoothly as our child’s conditions. Children seem happy and the teachers seem capable.

My son is now in 2nd year at Regent International School (RIS), and has grown so much during his time there. I cannot say enough about the dedication of school staff. The teachers have worked lovingly and attentively with our son (and us!) to get him to where he is today. The staff truly prioritize the school-family partnership, and are always working with families to provide helpful behavioral strategies and ensure expectations for kids are consistent between home and school.

I am very excited that i have found a long term educational option for our family as we plan to keep our child at Regent International School (RIS). If you are interested in progressive, high impact educational programme for your child with an energetic community around a school, you should consider RIS.

We are very happy with the quality of education our kids have been getting at to Regent International School .teachers are experienced and trained teachers all from the UK. Daughter in Year 4 and Son in Year 10. While our children have benefited from an all-round education, they have made strides in English and Maths and related subjects.

rarely come across a school that informs parents of their child's behaviour on a daily basis. Regent school does just this.... through sthing called a Virtual Learning Environment. It's their online application that lets parents know not only how their child is behaving in class real time, but also how is doing academically. My children get and submit their homework online, we can view their curriculum and what they are learning. There are homework resources and the entire library online. pretty cool stuff. Net net we as parents have become more engaged in our children's education and constructively support them. Kudos RIS! Keep up the good work!

Regent School got a GOOD WITH OUTSTANDING FEATURES rating from the KHDA. Great!! As a proud parent, the school has made wonderful strides and ranks there amongst the best British schools in Dubai. A wonderful all round education, great teachers, staff and heads, and a wonderful student body. What more can a parent ask for. Students are very well behaved and all the school's staff are extremely polite (a welcome change from some of the other schools out there). Way to go RIS !

Each school is unique and has its own culture and that's def true of Regent as well. As a teacher whose put a good year at RIS and is looking forward to the next at RIS, I can say what distinguishes RIS is the strong leadership and management of our senior management team and the enthusiasm of teachers. Our staff is committed and having achieved a "good" rating from the recent inspections is all charged up to better it next year. RIS also has a really diverse student and parent body that is markedly cohesive compared to other intl schools in Dubai. I've been given many opportunities to further develop my career as well as enhance my compensation, and the school makes a genuine effort to take care of its teachers. Being a long way from home, that makes a huge difference.

My son started at Regent International School in Year 3 and is now in year 6. The school has improved considerably over the years and I can confidently state is probably one of the better British National Curriculum schools in Dubai. As a parent, I am very happy with my son's progress and how he is developing. The school's strengths are its delivery of the curriculum - a good mix of academic rigour and holistic development, the extracurricular activities, a very responsive and professional team of heads and teachers, and a multicultural and welcoming atmosphere. The school's negatives are its smaller campus and a secondary dept that does not go to Year 12 as yet, although the school is growing and steadily adding classes. All in all, can confidently recommend RIS to parents.
