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
Students make very good progress in English, mathematics, and science and across a broad curriculum in the arts, humanities, languages and PE. In Arabic and Islamic education, students mostly make good progress. In English, mathematics and science students' levels of attainment are at least good and frequently very good. In Arabic and Islamic education, their levels of attainment are at least acceptable.
Personal and social development
Students are highly self-disciplined, respectful, and possess a strong sense of community. They actively participate in leadership roles, embrace healthy lifestyles, and maintain high attendance and punctuality rates. There's a deep appreciation for Islamic values and Emirati culture, though younger students are less engaged in cultural events. Students celebrate diversity and engage in community service. They are environmentally conscious, contributing to sustainability efforts within and beyond the school
Teaching, curriculum and care
Teaching in Foundation Stage (FS) and Primary is exceptional, with very strong teaching also seen in Secondary. Effective planning and resource utilisation, particularly in mathematics and science, stand out. Lessons are very well planned and resourced; learning environments and interactions between staff and students are highly positive. Assessment practices align with benchmarks. Data-driven curriculum adaptations very effectively meet diverse needs.
Wellbeing
This is a school for _all_ students. The school's commitment to academic achievement, inclusion and personal development, driven by world class leadership, ensures that all students thrive. Staff feel highly valued due to extensive support and training. Relationships at the school are based on mutual respect and shared values, with regular surveys allowing the community to influence its direction. Students exhibit respect, discipline, and resilience, actively participating in activities that bolster their ambitions and career readiness.
Inclusion
The school, under highly effective governance and leadership, excels in inclusive education, catering to a wide range of student needs, from severe learning difficulties to the most able. Its inclusive approach is supported by detailed assessments and a multidisciplinary strategy, allowing for personalised educational plans. Strong partnerships with parents enhance support, particularly for those on specialist education paths. The school offers a varied curriculum, including an effective ASDAN program, ensuring students with diverse needs thrive.
Leadership and management
Under exceptional leadership, the school sets very high standards in education and well-being for its diverse community, with a shared vision and clear accountability delivering a strong sense of purpose. Governors, parents, staff and students are engaged to ensure that quality assurance focuses on student achievement and personal growth. This is supported by comprehensive and accurate data analysis. Excellent facilities and a professional development programme for all staff enhance the quality of leadership, management, teaching and student support in this learning community where everybody thrives.

Fees 2026–27
Dubai Heights Academy tuition for 2026–27 is AED 35,000 (FS1) to AED 70,000 (Year 12) across 14 year groups, as published in the school's KHDA Fees Fact Sheet 2026–27, after the discount the school lists; KHDA's approved tuition is AED 48,688 to AED 96,880.Note 1Source A: Fees Fact Sheet 2026–27
Approved tuition is unchanged from 2025–26 in every year group; the discount on the 2026–27 sheet is smaller than on the 2025–26 sheet, so the fee after the discount is higher in all 14 year groups; the school did not raise its approved fee.

Recognised by UAE universities?
UAE universities ask for the Ministry of Education’s equivalency of the Grade 12 certificate. For this school’s curricula, the student needs:
- British: five IGCSE or GCSE passes (grade E or 3) and one A level or two AS levels (grade E).
- IB: the IB Diploma, or six IB subject certificates at grade 3 or above with 21 points, including English, maths and a science.
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)
