What WSA says: VES certainly has its long-term fans and the school works hard to keep them happy. With positive exam results, an active and effective ELT department and a can do attitude which sees the school reaching out to other institutions (Sharjah Wanderers Club for sports facilities), when it cannot provide in house- VES keeps both parents and students happy.
Sport & Extracurricular Activities: Located on the border with Ajman, in Sharjah’s smaller school district, Victoria is a big school on a relatively small plot. However, that said, Victoria does offer various indoor sports activities and swimming.
