We have two kids at Newton British School and we are very happy. The teaching is solid and all the teachers are British who have been trained to deliver the British curriculum. The way the classes are distributed may look strange but is pleasant as it gives a relaxing village atmosphere which nice for kids.
We also have another friend who has a kid at Newton International School at D-Ring (the area is called Al Helal I think?) He is also happy with the teaching there even though the buildings may need maintenance. But her kid is happy there and is making friends with many kids from other parts of the world who are at the school.
My advice is to go and explore by yourself, don't just depend on what circulates between white expats. I am white but I am sorry to say that whites here tend to look first at where there are predominantly white kids before they consider a school which is a petty and a lost opportunity for their kids to learn about and harmonize with other cultures.
