As you point out, this is a new school (the third branch of the Newton International School), and it is located in al Wa'ab. It follows the British Curriculum, with Arabic class once a week (if the parents so wish).
I have 2 children attending NBS, and so far, I have been very pleased with the school. The kids work hard, but in a way that is reasonable and fun. My kids actually look forward to going to school every day, which is a good sign. I know the teachers work very hard and give detailed assessments of students' work. So far, every interaction I've had with the school staff has been positive. The school environment is very friendly, and the staff are responsive to comments. The administration has also been trying to upgrade the infrastructure of the schoo. Classrooms are very cheerful and student-friendly.
There have been some staff changes recently, but from what I can tell, they try to bring in teachers qualified to teach the British Curriculum. I have had one such experience with my daughter's class, but it worked out very well.
I too am curious to know how the other parents feel about the school. I try to give constructive feedback whenever I feel I have something to say, because the school is so new. I hope that the school continues to do well and to care about students in the way they do now.
