ADEK rated International Indian School "Good" in its 2022-2023 inspection, its third consecutive "Good". The school has been inspected 3 times since 2016-2017.
International Indian School retains its good overall rating. Arabic-medium subjects and English-medium achievement in phase 2 have improved, and staff-student relationships are strong. Leadership remains effective and collaborative, but curriculum design is only acceptable, and the school still lacks in-school support services for students of determination.
