This SPEA review found Al Kamal American Private International School Branch 2 remains good overall, unchanged from the previous review. Achievement is good in core subjects but only acceptable in others. Personal development, care and governance are strong, though external MAP results show no growth in English, mathematics and science, and teacher retention remains difficult.
