Chinese School Dubai received an overall good rating. Students show excellent personal development and very strong progress in Chinese, English, and mathematics, supported by strong parent relationships. However, Islamic Education attainment is weak, care for students of determination is inadequate, and inclusive education provision needs urgent improvement.
