Enrolling me in this school was the best decision my parents have made. Now an alumni, having completed 14 years in this institution, I can proudly state that Our Own has helped create a well-rounded student in me, equipped with all the skills needed to tackle this competitive world. What marks Our Own is that it constantly strives for betterment. From innovative teaching methods (blackboards to smart boards) to infrastructure, I have witnessed the tremendous growth of the school over these years. The school also provides ample platforms for students to explore and display their talents; it is indeed the perfect balance of excellent academic results and extra-curricular activities. I will always be a proud Our Ownite and forever indebted to the school for all it has given me.

Arguably one of the worst schools in UAE. I'm writing this down because no parent should ever make a mistake by putting their kid here in this school. Just don't bother taking the CBSE curriculum in general because it's the absolute worst. It is outdated and just theoretical. Mugging up is the only way to score and if you can't seem to do that then suddenly you are labelled as "incapable".

This school will drain you out and make you feel worthless and pressurize you until you score "outstanding" marks which are according to their "perfect" school standards. And in the end, most of us don't know for what we are studying and most of us don't even know what an ambition means.

This school believes that if you can't mug up all the portions, you are an absolute idiot and is "not capable of moving forward". Yes, they actually use such harsh words.

The school gives us student surveys every year for us to give a feedback. Obviously the result was low because they don't seem to care about us and expect all of us to be some sort of robots who are only meant to study.

And what is funnier? Our principal clearly does not know what a survey means. A survey is conducted so that an organization can acknowledge its problems and come up with solutions. But the principal begged us to make our survey results better next time and was so mad at us for doing so (because we were being completely honest). Even held a separate assembly just to talk about it and another assembly in the auditorium to talk about it again. You can't beg for results. Its called a survey for a reason and you have to serve its purpose first.

If she had actually cared, she would have asked us about our problems and tried to solve them but instead she lashed out at us and asked whats wrong with US. Everyone is about pride and reputation these days. She's a perfect example of this sentence.

Even my dad agrees with me that the principal only cares about her reputation and not the wellbeing of the school girls (more academic percentage = school reputation increase = principal will be credited for how "well" she takes care of the school = principal's reputation increases and she can even move up a post)

Once you are a senior, they won't let you participate in sports unless you have good marks (even if you are good at sports). Medical fees is a waste, we all can check our height and weight at home. I haven't had picnics for the past 4 years of studying here.
And if we ask for anything they will say the typical dialogue i.e. "you are in grade ____ (insert any any grade from 9-12) you have no time for that".

Too much academic pressure and they don't care about the students' wellbeing but only about how much an individual can score because they need to get that 'perfect' overall grade scores to showcase that this school is the best, but in reality its the absolute worst.

There are some teachers who teach well, understands us and are kind enough to give us breaks in between the periods (because we are humans and we get tired too). God bless them for existing. But just like how a coin has two sides, there are some teachers who are just utterly sadistic. And some who don't even know how to teach us and expect us to know all the answers because of course we are experts at this (note my sarcasm). Like how are they even hired? On what basis? And even if you complain about a certain teacher to the supervisor, nothing is done about it. Exactly they simply don't care about us.

The ONLY thing we got which we had fun last year was the farewell preps, then again the science students were not allowed to take part in the preparations. If you take up science stream in this school, forget about the whole idea of having a life. It's sad to see my friends being pressurized the hell out of them just because they are "science students".

This school system is rigged. My friends from another schools couldn't even believe that such a school exists. This is a review and therefore I have all rights to write this down and this is a genuine opinion shared by many.

Outstanding school undoubtedly the best Indian curriculum School in Sharjah. Good campus, exhaustive facilities, good use of teaching aids including smart board, class room activities, online work sheets etc. Develop the all-rounder in kids and nurture them in a competitive environment. Develop the student to self manage their studies. Teachers are reasonably accessible. Visionary principal and management. Tuition fee is reasonable, but bus fees is on higher side. Credit card and on-line payments options available.
One of the old schools with large alumni. Kids love this school and feel proud about studying here.

Studied in this campus from 1997 to 2007, before we moved to the boys' branch. Infrastructure wasn't the best, but then again, this campus has stood for more than three decades. Have fond memories of this campus that I'll cherish forever. Hated the management though.

This school is the most nostalgic and plethoric atmosphere , I had ever studied in. I was here for 4 or 5 years, after which, as per the UAE government norms, we were shifted to another branch, thus, diluting the travesty of co education. It's a great school and it furnishes us a position, to express our thoughts and views to the global audience. It constitutes an agglutination of a myriad of methodologies, thoughts, intellectualism and a beautiful host of stellar teachers. One of the most notable teachers, in the school is Mrs. Hema Shah. She is a very serene teacher and her teaching expertise only nuances these qualities in her. She nurtured my mathematical bridge and gave me the specs of her knowledge, to survive the blandishments of the subject's bonhomie. This is certainly something that must be nipped in the bud and that will scar us, with the weary of beauty of maths(perhaps).
On the whole, the school is great and gushes up our pompous threshold, to giving us an astounding experience, from this very secessionist school.
