United Private School is a private school in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, in Al Yahar North on the road out of Al Ain, on Al Rafea's 3rd Street. Its accreditation is American, from Cognia, listed as "Accredited" with no withdrawal marked - and that is the only thing about the school certified by an outside inspection. The main thing a parent should know: the school has a domain, but effectively no site behind it - the pages are served by a script and cannot be read as text apart from a mission paragraph, and the school states neither its address nor its stages, curriculum or fees. The Abu Dhabi regulator, unlike those of Sharjah and Ajman, does not publish school names, so there is no second source on this school at all. This card is therefore the thinnest in the country: it holds what the registry confirms, and each empty section says why it is empty. On its own site the school calls itself "United Private School - Al Amera", naming a different district from the registry record; we have not resolved that discrepancy and have raised it as a question rather than smoothing it over.
Key facts
Stages and year groups No source gives this school's range of stages: the classes field of the Cognia record is empty, the Abu Dhabi regulator publishes neither school names nor stages, and on the school's own site the curriculum pages cannot be read.

CogniaCognia, formerly AdvancED
The widest-reaching American accreditation: some forty thousand schools in over a hundred countries. It accredits both individual schools and whole school systems. It also sells a paid membership with no inspection behind it, and that membership is often passed off as accreditation.
What the badge means for this school. The school has been through this organisation's accreditation. It was judged as a whole: governance, safeguarding, staff, premises, teaching. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it.

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.
