This school is awful, I am a student here and have been bullied many time this has resulted me going to therapy. This bullying ranges from 9th graders all the way to 12th graders. Most importantly the school does nothing about but hold a yearly assembly about bullying. Students punishments are taken very lightly. Most students whom are Emirati take advantage of this and cause many problem within the school, and often times break within the gym is cut short due to students not fallowing rules. However worst of all is the problem of vapes and alcohol within the school as many students have been caught skipping class to vape and on some instances have passed out due to alcohol. Teachers are even worse, as a teacher here cant hold a job for longer then 2 years they seem to think that they are the system which results to many teacher not doing their job but rather taking advantage of students, teachers here are also very mean to parents and punishment on teachers is very rarely taken. I have had many teachers tell me that they have been harassed and bullied by other teacher. Many of them are great however they are some teacher who make school a living hell. They have spent more money on opening a new hall rather then improving the school. But worst of all is that amount of exams that are done every year, most classes require their to be 8 exams per year, that a total of 72 exam per year for 9th graders, it does not end there as they are even more exams that do nothing but boost the schools reputation, most teachers do not even prepare students well to preform in these exams. This school cares nothing about students and parents but rather numbers based on how many positive reviews they have and how much money they make, parents are looked at as customers. And no effort is put in to improve the school at all. The price of 70,000 dirhams to attend this school per child does not show this. Do not send you children to this school if you care for them.

This school is absolutely horrendous. May I start by saying that it is greatly concerning that my child has seen several students vaping in the bathroom? They have found them during class time skipping and choosing to vape instead, as well as offering it to my child. The school doesn't seem to be able to control them. I am highly disappointed in the quality of food as well. My child has taken photos and told me that the cafeteria food is like trash, as well as her friends. I, myself, have asked other parents their opinion on the food and they are heavily displeased. Students are unable to focus and stay quiet during the lessons, often swearing and being extremely rowdy. My child can never listen or get their work done. I am taking them out.

absolutely terrible school My child's math teacher doesn't even teach her properly and is surprised when most of the class fail. The RP1 was ridiculously hard and they said "that the topic was taught last year" when the topic was not taught last year properly. Also after class when my daughter asked the teachers questions as she didn't understand the teacher said that "You can not come to me at the end of the lesson saying you do not understand anything, I am going to have to email your parents because you were not paying attention" when my daughter was trying to understand the math taught, but didn't. We do not appreciate this attitude especially when my daughter was just asking for help.

  • SparkleMaggie

Hey this is a student here. The classes are good, most of the teachers are nice. It’s the students that are the problem. I and a lot of other people have been bullied quite a lot, and the punishments for this are very light. Even when they’re not directly being mean to people, they’re still annoying. They make weird noises and disrupt class, there’s nothing the school can really do about that, these kids will not listen to anyone, but still, emails to parents and detentions aren’t cutting it anymore. And if you’re wondering if there’s any truth to the rumours that kids are vaping: yes, I smelled AND saw the smoke in the hallway on the way to class. (Worst smell EVER)

This school is pretty good overall, BUT.. the principle Mr. Timothy Roberts is absolutely horrible, by his behavior, his body language, attitude, dealing, and communicating, it shows that he acts as if he is a jailer instead of a principle, and honestly he does know how to communicate and deal with parents of students. I really hope, and my suggestion to the management is to remove him and bring a new more kind and joyful principle, because that’s what a principle should be. No one wants to have an unpleasant personalitied principle!

  • Absolutkodak

salam aleykom, people in the school are weird quigley just walks in the classrooms when he wants and distracts the learning of children because he feels that school rules are more important than learning. Teachers are not qualified at all and were all maids and cleaners in the past life and the cafeteria food gives my kids diarrhoea every day. final point dont send your kids to this zoo.

  • maria CASAS ONIEVA

This is the worst school I have been. I was there teaching for 1 year and it was a really bad experience. The Language department management was terrible!!!! I had almost 30 kids in one class and poor resources. Really bad sorry! It is more business than a school community I wouldn’t bring my kids to these school. But thank you because I appreciate a lot my new school

  • Marwan Qubain

I have no issues about school it self, but the problem was their bus # 232 as rhe driver was driving in reckless and change lanes without giving priority and reaching to do it in a race way. This will be reported to the admin to protect the lives of the students that he drive with them also to protect the lives of people who drive arround him

  • Dina Mohmed

My son has been in this school for two years until now KG1 and 2 it is considered one of the wonderful schools in Dubai UAE We are very comfortable with strong education, the teachers and the administration are very cooperative, and I hope that I can complete my son's studies there until the year 12 KG1 from 4 years old

  • kaiserahmed 007

I can say enough positive things about this school! The teachers are incredibly dedicated and truly care about their students' success. The curriculum is well-structured, providing a strong educational foundation. The school's welcoming and inclusive atmosphere makes it a fantastic place for learning.

  • Jorge Pedezert

Best school ever!!! The personnel is awesome, the teachers are very supportive. If your child does not speak English they will give you extra time and effort to help him to adapt. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the diversity of the community is a very positive experience for the children.

  • Bobux

This school is literally a chimney. The food here is absurd, charging nearly 15 dirhams for hot chocolate, everywhere I go in this school you will find people vaping and smoking turning this school into a chimney. It has gotten so bad that they had to install fire alarms in bathrooms now.

  • ayesha qais

My experience with Kabir at work has been commendable! He is extremely efficient and acts promptly to any issue at sch when asked . He also has an extremely positive attitude!

  • lizzie llama

Raffles World Academy, (RWA) is a good US/IB School. There are very kind teachers! If anyone wants to join the school, I'd say to go there!!! I'd rate it 4/5 stars.

  • Ghada Hamad

Unfair working environment , not a stable place to work at. Teachers keep leaving the school and students will not have a teacher for a long time.

  • Amr Fathi

Rules that do not make sense, they have sports activities but they do not allow parents to go inside to watch ... what type of mentality is that!

  • Hanafi Karyum

My son attended this school in 2013 to 2014. He experienced bullying by another student that recorded in psychologist consultation until now.

Good school but they need to improve the food in cafeteria (currently it is quite bad) and add more sports.

  • Abdulla

Terrbile School its so depressing. Horrible Principle, Terrible Staff, Diabolical facility. OVERALL: Trash

  • Kitty Lover

I think they should really change the principle, because nobody likes him and he confronts parents.

The school honestly needs to bring a new principle, Mr. Timothy Roberts is really atrocious.
