When I was in grade 10, everything seemed to be going well at school. However, things took a turn for the worse after that. The biggest issue was with my math teacher. For an entire year, we didn't have a consistent math teacher, and it made learning incredibly difficult. Just when we would start getting used to a new teacher, they would leave, and the cycle would continue.

It wasn't just math that was affected; it seemed to happen with other subjects too. The business class and economics classes also suffered from frequent teacher changes. It was frustrating because it meant there was no continuity in our learning. Just when we were starting to build a rapport with a teacher and getting into the flow of the subject, they would leave, and we'd have to start all over again with someone new.

What made matters worse was that most of the teachers at our school didn't seem to care. They appeared disinterested and lacked the enthusiasm and dedication that we needed as students. It felt like we were just going through the motions, and education became a mere formality rather than a meaningful learning experience.

There were a few exceptional teachers who genuinely cared, but they were few and far between. It was those rare teachers who made a positive impact on my education and kept me motivated to continue despite the challenges.

Overall, dealing with inconsistent and apathetic teachers has made my educational journey in grades 11 and 12 quite challenging. It's disheartening when the people responsible for our learning don't show the same level of commitment that we as students strive to have.

This school is extremely expensive for what you get. As soon as you have signed up - they do anything to squeez out more money from you. Everything is just about money and not the children. Everything sounds soo good and the school looks good - but they do have big problems with bulleing and bad teachers.

As my kid has slight autism they do have inclusion department and we do the initial assessment and supposed to be another two hours one to decide whether he needs a shadow teacher or not .. they emailed us that he needs a shadow teacher which cost extra 60000 , without doing the two hours assessment.. all they care about is money.

I studied here around 2013-2016. At the time, it was still new and there weren’t many students. I still remember my teachers ???? it was the best.

my friend went to an MUN event and was dress coded and sent home after hours of collecting research for it. when she arrived home, shortly after she found out that other people got dress coded as well, however we’re not sent home. this sets a bad example for the school, as it could show ulterior motives for why she was sent home.

They are such a liars ! I really want to sue them for being so unreliable and untrustworthy.
They tell you something then they do nothing
All they care about is MONEY and Showing off

I was a student at GWA for almost 10 years and I can say that it’s a good school. Considering that I left this year gives some doubts and concerns but, here’s my real opinion: GWA is one of the best IB schools in Dubai but it is incredibly expensive. As a lot of new decisions have been made since the new principled arrived a lot has changed, some for the better and some for the worst, I have nothing against the new principled, in fact, I think she’s a very smart and sophisticated women who has so much passion. I believe that sometimes though, she can be a little strict, I think that students such as myself like to have more liberty and the more liberty we have the more we listen. The only reason I give GWA two stars is because it was my second home. I hope this review was helpful and if I in any way shape or form offended anyone, I sincerely apologize.
