Inquiry regarding Regent International School

Hi

We are going to be moving to Dubai in next two months. My son is currently in Gems here, but I was wondering if anyone could give me detailed feedback on RIS. He is going to Year 1 in September. RIS will be close to where we would probably be staying.

thanks in advance

HI,

Regent International is an established school close to the various Emaar and New Dubai developments.  It has been rated Good by the Regulator for the last several years – you can read the review and see the KHDA reports on the main Whichschooladvisor.com website.

The school is about to undergo a major transformation in September when it will change from a 3-18 years through school to Primary only.  The Secondary school will transfer to the site of Regent’s new sister school, Sunmarke.  This will free up considerable space within the current Regent school and allow it to grow across what is a very substantial site.  It will also allow Primary students to have access to Secondary facilities such as labs which would not necessarily be available.

As with any move, we would strongly advise you to visit the school yourself before making any decisions.  There are several other UK curriculum schools located around the Greens, Meadows, Springs, Jumeirah Park area that you may also wish to consider dependent on your exact location and budget.  These include Sunmarke, Arcadia, Dubai British School and Dubai British School Jumeirah Park and within 15 minutes’ drive, schools such as GEMS Wellington International and GEMS Wellington Academy Al Khail, Foremarke, GEMS Founders School, Kings School Al Barsha, Safa Community School, GEMS Metropole, Victory Heights Primary and Nord Anglia.  At this stage, we are not aware of available places, but there seems to have been a lot of outbound movement this summer and it may well be that places will still be available (and more may become available) at the start of the new term.
