Al Amana Private School remained acceptable overall, unchanged from the previous review. Leaders provide a positive learning experience, and students show strong attendance, behaviour, and speaking skills. However, teaching quality varies across Phases 1 and 2, extended writing skills are weak, and self-evaluation lacks rigour and consistency.
