Review about International School - Al Khail
It was not so easy, because it was already June (in May, as a rule, there are practically no places in Dubai schools) and it was necessary to accommodate three children, two of whom did not know English at all - this is a separate difficulty, because it is necessary to find not just 2 places in the class, but with language support. There were catastrophically few chances, but Anastasia very quickly found such a school, helped with all the documents and even with payments (there were also difficulties here), and was always in touch.
We definitely recommend this company to anyone who is planning to enroll in a foreign school or university.
