Horizon School and Horizon International School.
Considering a posible move to dubai in November, I have started looking out for schools in Dubai for DS.
He is currently in grade 3 in a CBSE indian academic (rote learning / homework) oriented school here in Abu Dhabi. His english is good, but his neutral accent has suffered since he joined the Indian school.
I am considering putting him in a UK syllabus school and hoping in the process that is accent would be neutralised and trying to choose a school that is not academic (rote learning / homework) oriented.
I am considering Horizon School and Horizon International School. I found a few reviews on here http://www.expatwoman.com/forum/topic215110-horizon--academics.aspx (from 2013) about the Horizon school, but nothing much on Horizon International (which is actually Star International UMM Sheif).
I am also curious about the activities and additional languages taught in grade 3 at Horizon School?
DS currently learns Hindi and Arabic. Though Arabic is unavoidable, his experience with Arabic in his current school has been so bad that he has started dreading the subject :(
As regards activities, his current school has no (non-academic) activities at all, so any after school activities would be a plus.
Also what are the options for students after grade 6? As Horizon school only has classes till grade 6? How tough is it to find placement into grade 7 in another school for an average child?
And any feedback good/bad on Horizon International School also appreciated.
Thanks Ladies.
