Illustration · Dubai
Pristine Private School opened in 1992 and stands in Al Nahda 2, near the Dubai-Sharjah border - a district the school itself calls affordable and family-friendly, listing a couple of dozen surrounding neighbourhoods its families travel in from. The school runs the British pathway from the early years to A Level and keeps two campuses: a junior one and a main one. Its pupils come from more than 60 nationalities. Of external judgements it names the KHDA ratings - Outstanding and Very Good on its quality indicators, Outstanding across all indicators in the Foundation Stage and Outstanding for personal and social development - and the Cambridge Learner Awards. The stages run right through: early years, Key Stages 1 and 2, Key Stages 3 and 4, and the Sixth Form. The school has its own sections on inclusion, wellbeing, sustainability and academic and career guidance, and pages on alumni placements and the universities its leavers go to. Its motto is "Onward and Upward".

CambridgeCambridge International Education
Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: IGCSE (ages 14-16), A-Level (ages 16-18). IGCSE means exams at around Year 10 or 11, the British counterpart of a lower secondary leaving certificate. A-Level is the senior years, and their results are what British and many other universities admit on.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

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 8 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.
