Al Amal School For The Deaf - Branch Eastern Region - KhorfakkanPrincipal & Leadership Team

Al Amal School For The Deaf - Branch Eastern Region - Khorfakkan is operated by Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services (SCHS), a humanitarian organisation with roots stretching back to 1979 and a long-standing mandate to serve individuals with disabilities across the emirate. At the apex of governance sits Her Excellency Sheikha Jameela bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, President of SCHS, whose leadership lends the institution both institutional authority and a clear humanitarian mission. The school itself was established on 27 October 2019, making it a relatively young branch within the broader Al Amal network.

On the question of day-to-day school leadership, the data available to this review is limited. [MISSING: principal name, title, tenure, and background] — no named principal or vice-principal has been identified in publicly available sources. Parents seeking to understand who leads the school operationally should direct enquiries to the school directly. Similarly, [MISSING: staff qualification levels, total teacher headcount, and student-teacher ratio] are not publicly disclosed, making it impossible to compare staffing intensity against the Sharjah city average of 13.6 students per teacher across MoE curriculum schools.

From an inspection standpoint, Al Amal School (Khorfakkan Branch) is currently listed as "Not Reviewed" by the Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA). This is not unusual for a school established in 2019 — among the 17 MoE curriculum schools tracked in Sharjah, inspection ratings are distributed between Good and Acceptable, with no MoE school currently holding a Very Good or Outstanding rating. The absence of a formal SPEA rating means parents cannot yet benchmark this school's performance against inspected peers, and this is a meaningful gap in the available evidence base.

What is clear is the institutional vision underpinning the school's existence. SCHS provides a comprehensive service model that extends well beyond classroom instruction — encompassing rehabilitation programmes, vocational training, and structured family support services. The organisation runs an annual 'Your Zakat for Our Education' campaign during Ramadan, and in 2023, Dubai Islamic Bank donated AED 5 million to support Zakat-based tuition assistance for eligible students. This signals a governance culture oriented toward accessibility and community engagement, even if formal parent engagement metrics are [MISSING: not reported]. For families of deaf students in the Eastern Region, the combination of SCHS's institutional depth and the school's specialist focus represents a distinctive and purposeful educational environment — one that warrants closer scrutiny as it matures toward its first formal inspection.
