Al Yasat Private School remains good overall. Achievement is good in most subjects except acceptable Islamic Education, with very good care, guidance and leadership. Teaching promotes active learning but insufficiently develops critical thinking, and attendance, particularly in KG, and parental engagement need further improvement.
