International School Of Choueifat - Al Ain - Muwaiji

Principal Ramzi Najib Al Eid leads the International School of Choueifat - Al Ain - Muwaiji, part of the global SABIS Education Network — one of the oldest and most established private school operators in the region. The 2024–25 ADEK inspection rated leadership effectiveness as Good, with inspectors noting that the principal and senior leadership team lead "with effectiveness and dedication, showcasing a strong commitment to their students and the broader school community." Notably, the school's overall performance has improved from Good in 2021–22 to Very Good in 2024–25, a trajectory that signals meaningful leadership continuity and institutional momentum rather than disruption.

The school employs 109 teachers serving 2,090 students, producing a student-to-teacher ratio of 1:19. This is notably higher than the Abu Dhabi and Dubai private school average of 1:13.6, meaning each teacher at ISC Al Ain carries a significantly larger class load than the sector norm. Parents should weigh this carefully, particularly for students who may benefit from more individualised attention. Teacher nationalities span South Africa, Ireland, and Lebanon, reflecting an internationally recruited staff body, though no data is available on formal qualification levels or the proportion holding postgraduate degrees.

The inspection report does flag one staffing consideration worth noting: several new teachers joined this academic year, yet the quality of teaching was described as maintained — a positive signal of effective onboarding and leadership oversight. Teaching is rated Good in KG and Very Good across Cycles 1, 2, and 3, with assessment rated Very Good across all phases. The SABIS proprietary assessment system is highlighted as a particular strength, with inspectors commending its "rigorous system for collecting learner data that informs the pace of learning."

On governance, the 2024–25 inspection rated governance as Good, alongside Good ratings for school self-evaluation, parent and community partnerships, and management, staffing, facilities and resources. Inspectors recommend that the school strengthen parent involvement through regular, structured feedback sessions with the principal and senior leaders — suggesting that while the foundation is solid, formal parent engagement channels remain an area for development. The school's self-evaluation framework also requires alignment with UAE School Inspection Framework performance indicators, pointing to a governance process still maturing rather than fully embedded.
