Fahad and Amirah
Parents of Faris and NaifI must say it's one of the best schools I have witnessed where the Principal is waiting outside for kids to welcome every single day. From day one my son is super happy and excited and speaks very high of all the teachers. He started showing interest towards learning Arabic and French and loves the overall environment of the school.
