03 · Inspection
What does the inspection tell us?
Published KHDA rating: Good.
Read the linked report for its date, strengths and improvement areas. The overall rating alone cannot establish the right fit for your child. Ask the school what has changed since the published information.

How far can my child continue here?
Japanese · Grades: Pre-primary-G9
The listed grades end before the final school years. Ask where pupils continue afterwards, how transfers work and whether another application is needed.
05 · Admissions
What should we confirm before applying?
Ask about a place in the correct grade, assessment and waiting-list arrangements, learning support, the full fee quote and refund conditions. Published fees do not mean a place is available.
