Amazing school it’s really modern and up to date because it has robots, coding, drones, and more that the students get to use! Most of the bad reviews are from the old campus when the school used to be pretty small.

Incredible school with a top class reputation over two decades. Outstanding students, teachers, community and SLT management. The ONLY American school in Dubai to achieve the KHDA "outstanding" rating year after year. The school is inclusive and gives ALL students of all abilities a chance. This is key. Take a visit and see with your own eyes the excellence that emanates within the building. Moreover, there is a culture of kindness that makes this school a vibrant and caring community.

Out of the 5+ schools I have attended this was by far the best one. Excellent facilities, delicious meals, good teaching and kind people. They also inspire you to read more, and they make sure you can get resourceful when studying. We also learned some robotics and coding, as well as using technology when learning. I was in the school in 2017/2018 in grade 5LD and I loved it. If I could I would definitely go back there!

My daughter started at DAA couple of days ago so can't comment yet on the quality of education or my child's experience. I'll update the review at a later date to include more details. So far I have observed the following:
Drop offs and pick ups are a nightmare. We didn't plan two hours a day to get our daughter to and from school that's 5 min from where we live. The traffic is awful as they only planned one tiny access road for a 3000 people school and a massive hospital right next to it. Both my husband and I need to go for drop offs and pick ups in order for one person to stay in the car stuck somewhere near the school while the other person goes to get the kid. It's beyond ridiculous. Given that Dubai is a new city and neither the school nor the hospital have been there for 500 years, I am not sure how they allowed for this poor traffic planning.
Second, we were instructed in one of the many letters we received prior to the school start to get registered with the Slices cafeteria and book meals for kids. After several unsuccessful attempts, writing emails, filing tickets etc, the receptionist at DAA (not terribly kind either) tells us that their site doesn't work yet. It would have been nice to know that in advance to avoid calling and writing emails. Also, why are they not open? Were they surprised that the school started last week of August? They mentioned a website upgrade, which I would expect them to do over the two months kids are out of school.
Thirdly, school uniforms are compulsory and again, it's difficult to get an appointment with a monopolist that sells them. Once we bought them, we found them to be 100% polyester at a premium price.
The school's payment system doesn't update correctly and doesn't reflect the deposit we paid months ago, thus asking for more money than needed when paying tuition. Lots of communication and lengthy emails going out to parents before school start, could have streamlined a bit.
The classroom seems small and very basic, with wooden benches. Transitioning from a nursery environment where kids had plenty of creative and fun space to move around, I am not thrilled my child will be seated there for hours, but let's see how it goes
If they don't do something about the traffic situation and food, we may not continue with them next semester. Given the size of the property, sports and science facilities, this may be a better choice for older kids, not kindergarten age.

This is a beautiful, quant little village at the end of what seems an endless beach. A walk up the cliff gives breath taking views. This village could become a victim of its own success as a tourist resort if not protected by the local council. The parking is limited (especially disabled parking) . There are a couple of cafes and pubs which are open most of the year. I saw a few mobile homes for rent just a short walk from the beach. The roads into the village are very rural and prone to traffic jams on busy days I would think ????. Still if you want a quiet stay with coastal walks this is a must visit.

There is alot of construction in the area where the car park is based and the pay and display machine only accepts cash so always carry spare change, the parking is reasonably priced however there isnt many parking spaces

Lots of building work going on which when finished will make it a good place to visit. Only one small ice cream - coffee shop open at the moment. But a great long beach

Great place, so close to beach. No facility to pay by card though so if you want to park a camper van, have £15 in pound coins in your pocket!

Plenty of construction work on the seafront going on, pay and display machine out of action so took our chances parking as did everyone else. Great beach though with some good cafes and a good pub.
