Advice about Regent International School

[Thedoc]

Hi everyone already in Dubai. I will be arriving in Dubai in 3 weeks with my daughters. Husband already there. We have had a challenge getting our daughters into a school (ages 6 and 7). All the schools are full. Finally we found that Regent International School had places for them. My husband has visited the school, spoken to teachers and the website looks great, but then they all do. We have booked the girls in for the next term. Does anyone know about the school and what it is like.

All advice really appreciated.

Thanks

my daughter goes there as well, and is very happy. staff is great and the variety of nationalities is fab. it is a smaller school, so not as intimidating either.

Hi Geordie

Pleased to hear the geat report. Our daughters are currently in a very small all girls private school in Australia, so this is a big change for them. They are excited about Dubai, they have travelled and lived all over the world with us, but this is the first time we have had to change schools. We wanted this school transition to be as smooth as possible.

Many thanks for the reply.

Just read all the comments and this is very good news for us also.
Both our boys have just been accepted for year 3 from sept onwards.
We were worried when some of our friends who have been out in Dubai for years - mentioned that the school was next to a sewer and also that the school has a high turnover of teachers.

Can anyone comment on these 2 points for us ?

it is next to a sewer but so is the Lakes development! school is fine.

Thanks for reply _what about the high turnover of teachers ?is this a fact or even a problem to your knowledge.

Final question is the children mainly British kids - as I think I read somewhere that the school used to be mainly Indian kids.
(not that I have anything against other nationalities - but would like to know the breakdown of the school from someone who's children are at the school.)

[Geordie Armani]

if your not bothered why ask the question? it is very mixed I wouldn't like to say how many British kids are there. But if you want me to comment on say colour ratio I would say 50/50

[Laney]

Do not put words down that I did not say.

I simply asked the split in british kids to other nationalities.

Thanks for your reply of 50/50.
