American School of Creative Science - Al Layyah

Our experience with the school was far below expectations. Although the school buildings are modern and impressive, the behavior and attitude of the staff and teachers were extremely disappointing. There was clear discrimination among the children—almost to the point of racism—which is unacceptable in an educational environment that should be based on fairness and equality. Moreover, there is virtually no communication between the administration and the parents. I sent a complaint via email at the beginning of the academic year, and to this day, I have not received any response or even an acknowledgment of receipt. I had two children enrolled in this school, and it was one of the worst experiences we’ve ever had as a family. We thank God that we have left the school, although we carry a deep sense of disappointment in our hearts. ⸻

My son absolutely loves this school & I am a great admirer of the balance between education, religion and community that this school has managed to create! The Principal, Ms. Margaret McCurdy is a revolutionary and a true educator. Her diligence along with the BEAM groups vision has resulted in a great premises that is spotlessly clean, maintains low student to teacher ratio per classroom, utilizes advanced computer/whiteboard classrooms, conducts great daily Islamic activities and maintains a warm Muslim Community atmosphere. The ASCS Al Layyah has hands down the most approachable teachers and principal that I have ever experienced or heard of...I chose this institution after spending 2 long years personally visiting all the schools that featured on the webs 'best lists' in Dubai & Sharjah. For those 2 years I deferred sending my son to school & chose to homeschool him instead because all that I found disappointed me greatly. Every school I visited came across as being more in the business of making money rather than being in the business of education. This was the only school that put the child before profits! This school has provided my son with meals from the cafeteria whenever he requested it-free of charge, the accounts department has deferred school fees without hesitation & most importantly, for the caliber of school that this institution is, the fees reflect clearly how money is not the reason they are in business. Coming from a family of Montessori Educators and having been a teacher myself, I can confidently vouchsafe for ASCS Al Layyah and would happily answer any questions parents may have about the school.

I highly recommend the American School of Creative Science Al Layyah for its caring and dedicated teachers who prioritize student needs and safety. It offers a well-rounded education and fosters a positive and inclusive learning environment. My children have flourished academically and personally in this school, and I am grateful for the exceptional education they receive.

The school was temporarily suspended for 2 years and was reopened for 2022-2023. The school changed the administration and staff. The new team is very good, friendly and knowledgeable. My grandson and his friends enjoy the school and like their teachers. The school supported my grandson to memorize a whole chapter in the Quran in a few months. I highly recommend the school.

I highly recommend this school for its excellent academic methods and developmental milestones. I believe that a child emerges with excellent behavior, religious beliefs and extraordinary abilities. This school management treats everyone equally. I really admire the way they treat their parents.
