This is the second CBSE curriculum school to announce its closure within two weeks. On September 15, Indian Islahi Islamic School issued notices to parents of its closure next academic year.

However, Mary Thomas, Principal of the school in the Al Dhafra area, said they had hoped to find an investor till last month. “We have been desperately trying to find an investor and have a new school. We were, and still are, optimistic about finding a solution,” said Thomas.
She said they had submitted five applications to ADEC since 2009 for a new school but all were rejected. The circular from ADEC states that parents who wish to transfer students in mid-academic year can do so only after paying the entire tuition fee till March. Since 2009, ADEC has been asking villa schools to move to purpose-built facilities or face closure.
