Best School for Child Progress and Value Added Education to Leave No Child Behind – The Finalists 2023 – 2024
The following are our top-5 schools and Finalists for the 2023-2024 SchoolsCompared.com Best School Award for Outstanding Value Add in the ways it has ensured that children are enabled to exceed the flight paths expected of them when entering the school, across academics and their whole child development as young men and women. These are inclusive schools with the courage and conviction to ensure that no child will, or should, ever be left behind – and more than this, that every child has a gift that can be developed and brought to life.
All the schools listed, in different ways, provide outstanding breadth of academic, technical and ECA options for students to ensure that every child can meet his or her individual ambitions, potential, and ability.
Each of them endeavours to provide exceptional added value to each child’s journey to ensure that every student leaves school at least meeting and more often exceeding baseline academic and whole child expectations.
The progress children make at these schools is outstanding.
When we have looked at schools, we have weighted those that plough back investment into facilities, teacher salaries, resources and school improvements year-on-year to improve education for children.
All of the schools shortlisted endeavour to deliver a benchmark for the best value-add education for children, available in the UAE. Today, with a UAE educational system that increasingly, and in our view very creditably, celebrates inclusion, value-add and progress, rather than exam results and league tables alone, these are the indicators we believe that parents should be looking to in deciding on the best schools to educate their children. These are the schools that achieve for all our children.
Finally, we have looked across all areas of provision, investment, innovation and achievement that support each school being shortlisted.
It should be noted that the very small number of purely academically selective schools in the UAE have great difficulty in demonstrating value-add academically – their children arrive at school already set on a natural path to achieve. This does not mean that they do not provide value-add – just that it is harder to measure. As a result you will not see these schools shortlisted here.
