Students of Dubai National School Albarsha.

I’d really appreciate your honest feedback.

We speak exclusively Arabic at home, and we’re considering the school for our child entering KG/Pre-K.

Our main concern is English language acquisition in the first few years. Were your kids able to become fluent/confident in English naturally at the school, or did they mostly continue speaking Arabic socially with classmates?

We’re specifically wondering:

How strong is the English environment in KG?

Do kids actually speak English during play and daily interaction?

Did your child develop good pronunciation and confidence in English?

Any feedback will be appreciated

Thanks

I'm trying to enroll my toddler in school, and I seem to have a hard time finding a school that doesn't require some screen time.

Aren't everyone warning us about screen time for kids under 10 yrs and how we have to limit and all that

For pre kg less than 4 yrs, the best school I found requires at least 30 mins of screen time on ipad a day. At home. This is not including God forbid online education.

Does this seem right to you guys or is it only the schools I am looking at that do this?
