About Abc Private School Abu Dhabi
ABC Private School has been established for the purpose of teaching children, not only what they need to succeed in the real world by way of practical skills, but also to teach them the values that they need to cherish and uphold all their lives. This was essential, in our opinion, if children are to have the wisdom to deal with the world with a sense of balance. ABC always felt that knowledge must be accompanied by the wisdom to use that knowledge in the right way. Without this balance, the knowledge can often be destructive, both to the author, and to those for whose 'benefit' it is being used.

Questions to ask the school
- Is an educational psychologist on staff or available by referral?
- What level of English is required for entry, and what EAL/ESL support is provided for a child still learning English?
- Can you support a child with my child's specific need (e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, autism), and have you done so this year? Ask for concrete examples.
- Is there an additional fee for learning support or EAL — and how much per year?
- Is learning support guaranteed for the full enrolment, or can it be withdrawn later?
