Great to hear that I eased your mind. Hoping to enroll my boys there in 2 years time. Both will start foundation stage next year so it will be, hopefully, year 1 for them at SES.

I have the same issue with my son while he was at nursery. Reading how you described your son felt like I was reading about mine too! He was practically excluded at the nursery and was treated like he was a nuisance. Worst, my son was mistreated by the teacher! He and his twin were enrolled in the same class, his twin is a bright boy and would often reenact at home what their teacher does: He would shout at his brother and push him. I was horrified!! When I asked my son if the teacher is indeed doing it to his brother, he replied "Yes" defeatedly. Upon probing, I further, I found out that the teacher is lightly slapping my boy too. It broke my heart. Went to the nursery to talk to the manager and the teacher, they denied, as expected. I felt bad for my boy. Had to talk to his brother to stop treating his twin like how their teacher is treating him. Very traumatic experience :(

Hi HMG, I know this is late but would recommend Mirdif for community, it is great for families. In terms of school, ideally I would recommend JESS but they are always full. So if within Mirdiff, I would highly recommend GEMS Royal Dubai School. It has been always rated very highly by the government.

Hi Pearl, I think you made a good decision. I have heard of SES when our choir group joined choirfest middleeast and watched their contingent (6 girls, if I remember it right) were amazing! Well behaved too! That is what prompted me to research the school and that is also how I found out that it is a top tier school. I am hoping to enroll my boys there next school year but seriously considering as we may not be ready yet financially :(

Hi Cinza, Top tier school in Sharjah is Sharjah English School, followed by, in my opinion, Victoria English School. Another one would be Scholars International Academy. I am partial to these schools as they are the only BSME registered schools in Sharjah. Depends on your budget too. If it is not an issue, I highly recommend Sharjah English School. But if it is, you may consider setlling with Victoria English School. I have been doing research about schools in Sharjah for the past 4 months now, googling every little detail I can find about the schools. Reason being I have 2 boys who will need to be enrolled in FS next school year.
