What has this school done to help your child transition from the curriculum in your home country into the curriculum in your new country? Are there programs to prepare your child for repatriation?

The school has a culture of kindness which is evident among all students and teachers. My child was welcomed and made friends faster in this school than in any of the others she has attended. She was made to feel as if she had been there her whole life and was very comfotable with the transition.

Do it. DAA has become the best school in Dubai and I am proud to have a child attending it. Moving her from Emirates International School into this school was the best thing I ever did. The teachers are much more capable and the student life and culture is more appealing. This is an excellent school and I HIGHLY recommend it for your child!
