This school genuinely only cares about sports, they have levels in PE class (but not in English???) and care so much about their sports teams but they barely have any teams and they never win anything.\nthey barely have subject options for gcse and ib also, for the price you pay you are expecting way more but in reality even gems Winchester has more options. they will brag to you about their high grades and university acceptances when only 1% of students do well, and most likely because they were only in the school for 2 or 3 years.\nI am very disappointed in al Futtaim education foundation, its really embarrassing to run a school\u00c2\u00a0like\u00c2\u00a0this.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"This is the worst school in all of dubai!! don't put your kids here unless you want their grades to drop and they come home crying everyday!!\nthe level of education at this school is terrible! the english level at this school is so bad. if your kid is in year 10 they will learn the english curriculum from year 6. they dont even have different levels for the english classes!! my friend who was a parent wanted to move her daughter from DIS and she almost had to redo the year because her english level is so bad!! the only good subject at this school is science but everything else needs to be improved by a lot. i believe the reason why this school is low level is because the students at this school are so awful. the students here are sooo loud and have the worst attitude to learning and even eachother. even in a test you will never find a quiet, focused classroom at DIS!! my kids were so heavily bullied and all the parents i know here their kids were also bullied, if you complain to the school about it they wont do anything and the bullying will only get worse.\nthe facilities at this school also need to be improved, apart from the IB hub and sports fields everything else is very old.
