Amity SchoolPrincipal & Leadership Team

Amity School L.L.C is operated by the Amity Education Group, a not-for-profit foundation with over 30 years of experience and 250,000 students worldwide. The school's Board of Governors is chaired by Dr. Vajahat Hussain, CEO of Amity Education Middle East, with Dr. Saif Al Seiari serving as Deputy Chairman. The board draws on cross-network expertise, including Ms. Sarah Wade, Executive Principal of Amity International School Abu Dhabi, and includes nominated representatives from staff, the Student Council, and parents — a governance structure that the 2023–2024 KHDA inspection rated Very Good.

The current principal is Kapil Chaudhary, who also serves as Member Secretary of the Board of Governors. The inspection report conducted in October 2023 listed Sangita Chima as Principal, appointed 6 January 2019; Kapil Chaudhary has since assumed the role, though the precise date of transition is not confirmed in available sources. Parents considering Amity School Dubai should note this leadership change when evaluating continuity. The KHDA inspection found that leadership effectiveness was rated Very Good, with inspectors noting that the principal and senior leaders hold a clear vision strongly supported by key stakeholders, and have been successful in building a positive school community with a common sense of purpose. A noted area for development is the need to increase the rigour of self-evaluation so that leaders maintain an accurate picture of the school's strengths and areas for improvement.

On staffing, Amity School Dubai employs 77 teachers supported by 30 teaching assistants, serving 1,311 students. This produces a student-to-teacher ratio of 1:17, which is notably higher than the Dubai-wide average of 1:13.6 across 204 schools with available data. Among Indian curriculum schools in Dubai — a relatively small cohort of 34 schools — this ratio places Amity at the less favourable end. The inspection rated teaching for effective learning as Good across all phases, with inspectors observing that teachers know their subjects well and plan lessons with clear objectives. In Middle and Secondary, teachers set high expectations and encourage critical thinking, though consistency of differentiation across ability levels remains an area for development.

The inspection rated management, staffing, facilities and resources as Very Good, and the wellbeing report noted that staff are generally satisfied and contribute to a positive work environment — a signal of reasonable retention, though no specific turnover data is published. Parents and the community engagement was rated Very Good by KHDA inspectors, supported by a Parent Representative Committee comprising volunteers from each grade who work directly with the Principal and Senior Leadership Team. A recent parent survey cited in the inspection report indicated a very high level of satisfaction among the school community. The school's vision — centred on inclusive, innovative and deep learning — is reflected in its integration of STEAM, mindfulness, AI electives, and sustainability programmes into the CBSE curriculum, giving the leadership team a distinctive and coherent educational identity within Dubai's Indian curriculum sector.
