Queen International School has been running in Dubai since 1998 and stands in Hor Al Anz East in Deira, next to the post office. Its principal describes the school through rigour and tradition: high expectations, high standards and work built around the individual child so that by the time they leave they have not only the qualifications they need but the life skills too. The curriculum is the National Curriculum for England: to the end of Key Stage 3 every pupil studies the same subjects regardless of background, nationality or attainment, and in Key Stages 4 and 5 options are added to a smaller compulsory core. Arabic and Islamic studies are part of the curriculum. The stages run from FS1 to Year 13, and the fee rises step by step - from 15,554 dirhams in FS2 to 29,170 in Year 13 - with a separate charge for books, utilities and the laboratory added in most year groups. The day runs Monday to Thursday from 7:30 to 14:30 and on Friday from 7:40 to 11:30.

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. Which stages - from the early years programme for three-year-olds up to A-Level - this school is approved for is not stated here.

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.
