Dubai: With over 230 private schools operating in Abu Dhabi, parents in the emirate have quite a few options available when it comes to selecting the right educational institute for their child. The Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) regulates educational institutes in the UAE and also has an ‘Irtiqaa’ rating system, which evaluates private schools’ performances in the emirate. Loosely translated, the Arabic word Irtiqaa means reaching new heights. During a four-day inspection, school inspectors evaluate the institution’s overall education quality as well as its effectiveness, and rate it on a scale of six – very weak, weak, acceptable, good, very good and outstanding.
If you are on the hunt for the right Indian school for your child, there are over 20 options available in the emirate. Here is a list of all the Indian schools in Abu Dhabi, along with their annual fees and Irtiqaa rating.
