Sharjah British International School is a private school in Sharjah, in the Muwailih district. The Sharjah Private Education Authority holds it in its school register as number 106, under the name "Shj. British Int .Pvt. School", with a licence dated 6 July 2002, a British curriculum, year groups FS1, FS2 and Years 1 to 13, and the note "International Accreditation: Cambridge". The Cambridge record is thus confirmed twice over: the school also stands in the Cambridge International school register, where a separate column states that it does not take private exam candidates - only its own students sit exams there. The school has no website of its own: the site field in the emirate's register is empty, and the school's working email address sits on the regulator's own domain. There is therefore nothing from which to state its fees, its number of students, its daily routine, its campus facilities or its admission requirements.
Key facts
Stages and year groups The year groups are listed in the Sharjah Private Education Authority's school register: the foundation stages FS1 and FS2 and then Years 1 to 13 straight through. The register does not say how these divide into primary, middle and secondary stages, nor what each stage ends with.

Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries
Cambridge · authorised programmeThe Cambridge record is confirmed by two sources independently: the school stands in the Cambridge International school register, and in the Sharjah Private Education Authority's register it carries the note "International Accreditation: Cambridge". Neither source says which stages of the Cambridge programme this covers - Primary, Lower Secondary, IGCSE or A-Level.

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.

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 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.
