Dubai: Picking the right school for your child is never an easy task. Looking for the right curriculum, extra-curricular activities as well as the budget can be daunting. But school ratings can help guide parents in making such decisions, as education authorities in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah conduct regular assessments of schools in these emirates and provide an easy to follow rating.
In May 2023, the Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA) unveiled the results of its ‘Itqan’ programme, announced results of the programme, which evaluated 110 out of 127 private schools in the emirate. Schools were rated on a six-point sale – outstanding, very good, good, acceptable, weak and very weak.
Here is the list of outstanding, very good and good schools in Sharjah, if you are planning to send your child to a school in the emirate.
