dont touch horizon with a barge pole!!!!! i have just had a very awful experience with them.......they wont mention that they expect 6000dhs deposit per child non refundable until your kids leave......until they send you your terms invoice!!!!!! then treat you like **** if you question. my kids were offered a place and were meant to start this week. at 8am in the morning i was told i had to give one cheque for 6000 that they would cash at end of month and then another cheque for 6000dhs for end of oct as i had 2 kids going there. at 9 am i was rung and told no this has changed and i had 24hrs to get the full amount. then at 1030 am when i went into the school with the cash they told me no there are no places for your children!!!! possibly because my husband had been on the phone to KHDA who said its ileagal to ask for this much money. I have made a full complaint to them now and they will be investigated................. i can highly recommend english college, and jebel ali primary who have been very good and helpful since this. Star is a lovely school too but they didnt have any places unfortunatly for the yr i was after.

Thank you will get onto that straight away. we have checked everywhere on the school website and handbook and doesnt say anything about a deposit there. kids had an assesment there last week and no money was asked for.... they offered us the places and sent us an invoice for 2 lots of term fees and an invoice for each kid for 6000dhs security deposit..... nearly fell off my chair lol. i dont mind paying a 1000 dhs but 6000 each is mental. having just moved here are funds are limited as it is and company refusing to pay deposits!! school bursar was really rude about it when we queried it too.
