  I have heard from a good friend of mine that her brothers used to go to this school when they were small, and that the teachers would beat them and hit them. Not only that but I have seen that the school false advertise themselves on the back of their notebooks. When passing through the hallways, I notice that in some classes the teachers don’t pay attention to the students and just use their phones while children run around and scream. This school doesn’t even offer proper food. And their books and uniforms are way too overpriced. The teachers have no way to explain, yet sometimes can’t even answer a student’s question. All they do is read from the textbook and write whatever they find on the smart board. I wouldn’t consider Dar Jana as a school, more like a jail for children. They don’t deserve a high rating

  The school is way too expensive and doesn't reach the standard knowledge for a student to know. In one's class, the teacher slacks off and doesn't teach properly the required topics the child must learn, yet the young learner is given upon at least 2-3 assignments each day and quizzes and exams per week. The institute should knowingly place rest for the children for it is a necessity too. The school's environment is also a huge issue to work with. I have heard that there are problems the principal, teachers, counselors etc. have faced with their students but tell them to forget the facts and ignore/move on.

  this school is absolutely ridiculous.its really pricey and its full of nationalism and to some extinct racism.I know school students who come back home with crippling depression just because of how the students are treated from both teachers and students.Some even ask for aid in studies just because they couldn't understand the teacher,since they speak in Arabic mostly.if your not an arab or cant understand Arabic this school is literally gonna be a nightmare for you since even the students talk in Arabic.so the real question is why is this school labelled "international" if they don't follow neither Cambridge/IGCSE or SAT and again please don't get fooled as the price doesn't justify anything.Not recomended

  This school is by far, the worst school I’ve ever been to. This school puts too much pressure on children and causes stress. This school doesn’t even offer an american curriculum! If this school is international.. why only offer arabic as a language? And why aren’t they prepared for non- islamic students? They eleminated many electives for girls. And the rules are ridiculous. No phones? No long nails? No jewelry? Forcing us to tie our hair? And the teachers speak arabic most of the time, they barely explain in english. And the manners from teachers to students are disgusting and horrible. Same goes to the boys section. Teachers are calling students idiots and rude things. I’ve only been there for a few months and I already hate this school! It’s so depressing. The books are way too heavy and can barely fit in the small lockers which you have to pay 150 SR to access for just a semester. And the amount of quizzes and tests they give every week! Along with projects and homeworks. The building itself is very small and claustrophobic, same goes to the gyms. And the uniform is way too overpriced! 750 for PE uniform and a t-shirt?! And the bathroom does not have mirrors. Only the teacher’s bathrooms have mirrors! This school is horrible. There are only arabs in this school and they’re absolutely rude, including the supervisors and teachers. Kids get bullied by others and the school does nothing about it! I recommend you to not put your child in this school. If you really want your child to have their childhood destroyed with stacks of homeworks and due dates as well as depression, then dar jana is the place for that.

  The best school I have ever seen. Very good teaching , yes their books are heavy but very good. I'm a student there since 2013 studying. DJIS scored one of the highest scores in Middle East by AdvancED. Thanks DJIS ❤️❤️
