I would like to share some suggestions that I believe could improve the school experience for students. First, I was disappointed to hear that Hag Al Laila will no longer be celebrated. This tradition is an important part of our culture in the UAE, and it would be wonderful if the school could continue to acknowledge and celebrate it. Additionally, I believe it would be beneficial if students had more flexibility in changing classes to be with their friends. A comfortable social environment can have a positive impact on their learning experience. My daughter, who has been at this school for seven years, has faced this challenge, and I know it would mean a lot to many students. I also wanted to bring attention to an issue regarding bathroom privacy. It would be helpful to have a staff member, such as a cleaner, present near the bathrooms to ensure that students are respecting each other’s privacy. Regarding homework, I appreciate the school’s dedication to education, but I feel that the workload can be overwhelming. My daughter often has to complete multiple assignments, including IXL, Achieve, Savvas, Study Island, Alef, and extensive writing tasks in Arabic. She sometimes stays up until 1 AM to finish everything, leaving her with very little rest. A more balanced approach to homework could help students maintain their well-being while still excelling academically. Lastly, I would like to suggest adjusting the school timings to start at 8 AM and end at 2 PM. The current schedule, combined with heavy traffic, often causes delays in the morning and late arrivals home in the afternoon, which can be stressful for students. My daughter has been expressing concerns about these challenges and has even considered changing schools. I truly value this school and hope these suggestions can be taken into consideration to enhance the overall experience for students. Thank you for your time and understanding!

(⚠️ Disclaimer ⚠️: No disrespect intended to some of the great management and staff ) I would give zero stars if I could. Next Generation School is one of the most frustrating and disappointing experiences I’ve ever had in an educational setting. While the name sounds promising, the reality is the complete opposite. The rules here make absolutely no sense. Instead of encouraging learning and creativity, they’re focused on control and micromanagement. You can get in trouble for the most minor things — like either be cold, or decide to pay for an overpriced no good jacket, I mean not some peoples fault they can't afford a 200+ aed hoodie, also; if you are not doing good in your work, you are getting an “agua” for those who don't know what this insufferable system is, it is a system where the teacher can just send a report of you doing something to the principle. So anyways, if you get 3 your getting detention😤“wrong spot,” or speaking up in class. It feels more like a prison than a school sometimes. The administration seems more interested in enforcing random rules than actually listening to students or improving the learning environment. They expect respect but rarely show it in return. Teachers are often strict to the point of being unreasonable, and it seems like any kind of individuality is discouraged. If you’re looking for a school that values student voices, promotes real growth, and treats people fairly — this is not the place. I would not recommend it to anyone.I am sure it is not intended, but if some of the teachers can't speak proper understandable English in an “American Standard School’’ then it should make sense why this will anger some people. For this review I will use an example: Today we were told not to eat, because break is earned. Like it isn't a necessity??? And it was because some people were talking, NOT ALL, SPECIFICALLY SOME!!!. like I'm sorry next time I'll grab the mouths of the kids that were talking. I ...

If you are a student considering joining this school, or a parent thinking of enrolling your child, think twice. This school prioritizes its reputation over genuinely caring for students. Most of the teachers have awful attitudes. They’re always angry for no reason and take it out on students over the smallest things. Instead of offering to help when students make mistakes, they just get annoyed or raise their voices. Some teachers are even glued to their phones, barely listening when students try to speak with them. Though they have the audacity to tell students that our devices "remove us from the real world" when they clearly are more addicted to their devices than they are. It's very unprofessional and ridiculous. The whole school feels messy and unorganized. There are too many pointless rules. There is no fairness at all. The teachers expect students to give them respect when they never show any to them. respect is earned btw They hardly ever plan school trips, students have to beg for trips and still don't get one. The school makes promises they can't keep, so students tend to miss out on fun and learning outside the classroom. It gets isolating and draining just being locked up inside the school for 7 hours and not being aloud to go outside to the school field to get some fresh air. Students have to even BEG to just go out..how sad is that? The fact that this school cant even provide BASIC school needs. It feels like they just want to control and boss everyone around for no reason, instead of making school a good experience. If you’re looking for a school that listens to its students, treats everyone fairly, has a good education, has teachers who know what they're doing, gives students opportunities or let students be themselves then this school is definitely not it. I really recommend from the bottom of my heart don't come to this dreadful place, it's worse than jail trustt.

I was really lucky to choose it. It is a distinguished school that cares not only about education but also about morals. Their method of teaching is unconventional, but rather keeps up with this time. My children loved the school and they have become self-educated without relying on anyone. When any problem occurs, I find the entire school staff ready to help me. I am really happy that I looked at their Instagram account before registering, as it is the reason for my choice of the school. I liked the unique education system and method, and the stimulating activities throughout the year. Umrah trip iftar for the fasting person and Tarawih prayer. Your child will graduate ready for his life and his afterlife, God willing.

I moved my daughter here to KG2 from a known International school. I believe the things that she learns here and the strong instilling of faith are priceless. We moved her from her old school because she would come home singing Christmas songs and they would put so much emphasis on western culture and celebrations but never really teach our children anything about Islam or our own culture. She was also being influenced at a very young age by language and things other kids bring to school that she is not allowed to get exposed to at home. We thought what use is good education when our children grow up with corrupt Aqeeda? I love how my child learns Duaas, memorizes Quran and learns everything about Ramadan, fasting and Islam at NGS. They put all the emphasis on our Eid and our celebrations. I’m also very happy Alhamdullilah with her progress.. Her teacher treats her learning as an Amanah and we are very happy Alhamdullilah at this school. It is a blessing to have a school like this nowadays that protects our children from the influx of corruption out there…
