KHDA Inspection 2024
SchoolWise note
Rated Acceptable for 11 consecutive inspections since 2009. Stable performance; check individual indicators for areas of particular strength.
Al Arqm Private School in Al Barsha First has received an Acceptable rating from KHDA in its latest 2024 inspection, meaning the school meets the minimum standards required to operate but has not yet reached the higher levels of Good or Outstanding. The school's rating has remained consistently Acceptable across all recorded inspections from 2018 through 2024, signalling a stable but stagnant trajectory with no measurable improvement in overall quality over at least six years. Parents considering this UAE National curriculum school for Pre Primary through Grade 12 should be aware that while it offers continuity and consistency, the unchanged rating over an extended period may warrant asking school leadership directly about what specific steps are being taken to improve teaching quality and student outcomes.
