Shining Star International School
BBD Education has successfully supported Shining Star International School in achieving a 'Good' rating from the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK).
This achievement marks a significant improvement from its previous ‘Acceptable’ status. The school’s fees range from AED 8,280 in KG1 increasing to AED 16,250 in Grade 12.
BBD’s recent collaboration with Shining Star International School, which serves over two thousand students, showcases their expertise in delivering a quality education in the affordable segment of the market.
The notable progress made by Shining Star International School in its latest ADEK inspection is a testament to the focused efforts of both the school’s administration and the strategic and operational guidance provided by BBD Education. Through a series of targeted improvements aimed at enhancing the educational experience and quality, the school has successfully demonstrated significant improvements in teaching and learning and its operational standards.
The success story of Shining Star International School illustrates the potential for transformative change within the affordable education sector. Affordable schools, particularly those aiming to serve low-income families, face a myriad of challenges that can significantly impact their ability to deliver quality education. Addressing these obstacles is vital for ensuring that all students, regardless of their socioeconomic status, have access to the education they deserve.
One of the most immediate issues faced by affordable schools is limited financial resources. These constraints can affect many aspects of school operation, from maintaining infrastructure to acquiring modern teaching resources and the latest technology. Affordable schools often struggle to fund improvements or adopt new technologies that could enhance learning experiences.
Attracting and retaining skilled and experienced teachers is another significant challenge. With limited budgets, offering competitive salaries becomes difficult, which directly impacts the quality of education provided.
Striving to meet or exceed regulatory standards for achieving recognition, such as ADEK’s ‘Good’ rating, requires concerted effort and investment which BBD has supported Shining Star with on its journey to “Good”.
