KHDA in brief
KHDA’s own one-page summary of its 2023–24 inspection, written for parents, word for word. The full inspection report remains the reference. Source A: Parent Report 2023–24, summary only
Students’ achievement
In the Kindergarten, children continue to demonstrate good achievement, with improvements seen in Elementary School English and mathematics. However student progress in Islamic education and mathematics at the Middle and High School levels is not as strong as other curriculum areas. Additionally, the learning skills of Kindergarten children are steadily improving.
Personal and social development
Overall, the school sets high standards for student behaviour and they respond positively, displaying good manners and respect towards both peers and adults. While there has been a slight improvement in attendance and punctuality this year, these aspects remain areas for further enhancement, as a significant number of students still arrive late at the beginning of the school day. Middle and High School students exhibit a strong understanding of entrepreneurship, with some already engaged in business enterprises and many undertaking innovative projects.
Teaching, curriculum and care
Questioning is a relatively strong aspect of teaching across all subjects, often leading to sophisticated, insightful discussions, particularly evident in High School English. However, there is inconsistency in internal assessment processes within the school, spanning across subjects and grade levels. School leaders are actively working on improving their skills in analysing assessment data and tracking individual student progress over time.
Wellbeing
Pupils enjoy immediate access to counsellors, with each assigned a peer buddy and a staff member for personal support, fostering a nurturing environment that promotes positive outcomes through safety, empowerment, and care. Educators are deeply committed to the well-being vision, actively engaging in its realisation. The provision of thorough induction, information, and guidance enhances staff well-being and performance. Teachers significantly impact students' achievements, behaviour, and personal development, with the majority expressing contentment with the supportive work atmosphere.
Inclusion
School leaders champion inclusivity, guided by an experienced inclusion team and a strategic plan rooted in self-assessment. Additional support teachers are essential for further progress. Early, collaborative assessments pinpoint student needs, resulting in bespoke support via Individual Education Plans (IEPs) for those with pronounced needs. Learning support teachers are instrumental in delivering targeted interventions, ensuring education is personalised and accessible for every pupil.
Leadership and management
School leaders cultivate a dedicated learning community within a supportive environment that emphasises well-being. Under their direction, teachers have improved classroom dynamics and behaviour management. The Corporate Governance representative ensures senior leaders are held accountable by frequently reviewing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that span the entire spectrum of the school's performance. Additionally, there's a recognised and immediate need for significant updates to the school's infrastructure.

What parents told KHDA (survey, 2019–20)
The 2023–24 inspection report has no parents’ survey section; this is how the 2019–20 report, the newest with one and 6 years old, sums up parents’ answers, in the inspectors’ words.
2019–20 inspection · 145 parents responded Source A: Full Inspection Report 2019–20
Overall
Only about 10% of the parents completed the survey.
Some of these added negative comments about the school.
Leadership
However, almost all parents interviewed during the inspection were aware that the school is in a transitional phase, and that patience is required.
They value the changes that have taken place already.

What the KHDA scale means
KHDA rates schools on six levels. Good is the level KHDA expects of every school; Acceptable is the minimum level it requires.
- «Quality of performance substantially exceeds the expectation of the UAE»23 schools in Dubai hold it now
- «Quality of performance exceeds the expectation of the UAE»47 schools in Dubai hold it now
- «Quality of performance meets the expectation of the UAE»«This is the expected level for every school in the UAE»85 schools in Dubai hold it now
- «Quality of performance meets the minimum level of quality required in the UAE»«This is the minimum level for every school in the UAE»52 schools in Dubai hold it now
- «Quality of performance is below the expectation of the UAE»No school in Dubai holds it now
- «Quality of performance is significantly below the expectation of the UAE»No school in Dubai holds it now
American International School was rated Good in 2023–24, one of 85 schools at this level.
Reports before 2015–16 used four levels, not these six. 21 of Dubai's 228 open schools hold no six-level rating yet. Counted the way Market Statistics counts ratings, for the schools open today.

- In 2021, the Grade 4 students score of 539 was significantly above the school target.
- Emirati students made a gain of 40 points.
- However, the external benchmark assessments in English, mathematics and science showed many weak judgements, particularly in Middle.

Recognised by UAE universities?
UAE universities ask for the Ministry of Education’s equivalency of the Grade 12 certificate. For this school’s curriculum, the student needs:
- American: five approved subjects a year in Grades 10 to 12 (D or 60%), an English score (EmSAT 1100, IELTS 5.0 or TOEFL iBT 61) and a maths score (EmSAT 500 or SAT 450). Without the scores, the equivalency is limited.
Arab students also need Arabic, and Muslim students Islamic Studies, in each of the last three years.
KHDA attests the certificate first. Ask the school which body accredits it.Source Ministry of Education, equivalency service, read 24 September 2026 (opens in a new tab)
