Diyafah International School MBZ Experience
The management team, supported by its close ties to the Founder, is clearly dedicated and enthusiastic. The space created at the Abu Dhabi school may be functional rather than architecturally impressive, but it has been carefully thought through.
At the current time, the school consists of two large square buildings which are traditional in design and layout. They take up approximately half of a very large plot of land and it is not immediately evident on entry to the site, that in addition to space for two additional buildings (one of which will be a purpose-built secondary block and the other a large Sports facility including a swimming pool and Auditorium) there is a full-size astroturf playing field in the centre.
The Foundation Stage is located in a separate ground floor section of the first building with outside play areas, indoor play space, their own library, music and multi-purpose rooms. Corridors have plenty of art and other work on display. The upper floor of this building contains administration and meeting rooms.
Directly to the rear of the building is a large, shaded area with plenty of outdoor play equipment that is separated from the second building which contains the remainder of the classrooms for the other year groups. These are arranged across three floors of the building and a multi-purpose hall, laboratories, art rooms, library and other specialist facilities are included in this building.
It is all well laid out and organised. The appearance and facilities of the school may be functional rather than impressive, but, based on classroom activity, and the buzz of the school in general, they seem to be providing their students with all their essential requirements. Perhaps, most importantly, Diyafah International School remains the same welcoming and caring environment for its students that it has been since it opened.
