Parent Opinion

(5/5) By Fatima Leghari on 15 April, 2022

I have been a RWA parent for over 12 years with 3 happy kids. Primary and secondary school leadership is not only helpful but approachable following an open door policy. A very healthy IB learning environment with the key component being zero tolerance towards bullying and racism to ensure safety and well-being of its students. Only a handful incidents happened in the past where I had to approach the school to resolve an issue but nothing of the sort that can't be handled. Just an opinion that RWA should consider participating more in the extra curricular events happening in Dubai. The kids are fantastic, they just need a bit more exposure and support from the school.
