Al Reef Charter School is a charter school of the emirate of Abu Dhabi, at Al Ain Faydah outside Al Ain. The charter schools of Abu Dhabi are state schools of the emirate: the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) keeps them and hands them to an operator to run, and they have no websites of their own at all - online they appear as pages on ADEK's shared charter-school portal. In the register of NEASC - the American New England Association of Schools and Colleges - the school stands as a candidate: it has been admitted to the accreditation process, the review is under way but not complete, and this is the weakest kind of link that passes our threshold at all. There is nothing more to say about the school: it publishes nothing about its stages, its daily routine, its campus facilities, its admission requirements or its fees.

NEASCNew England Association of Schools and Colleges
An American accreditation working since 1885. For international schools it uses an approach where the visitors look first at live lessons rather than at folders of paperwork: the team works in the school for about a week. It is the only one here whose public directory honestly separates accredited schools from candidates.
What the badge means for this school. The school is a candidate for accreditation by this organisation: the route has been started but not completed. Candidacy speaks of an application made and a file accepted for consideration, not of the outcome of an inspection, and the organisations themselves usually require schools to say that it does not guarantee accreditation. The candidacy is confirmed in the organisation's open directory.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 7 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
