Al Ahliah Private School remained Acceptable overall, unchanged from the previous review. Leadership sustains steady performance in Arabic, mathematics and social studies, and personal development is good. However, teaching and assessment quality remain inconsistent, with insufficient challenge for high achievers and limited use of critical thinking and problem-solving activities across subjects.
