Results & Inspection Report
DESS Academic City will strive to uphold the DESS family’s Outstanding rating, which is the result of continual reviews and inspections by several bodies that are tasked with ensuring the consistency and quality of the education offered by Dubai schools.
Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA)
Within its inspection infrastructure, the KHDA places great importance on student and teacher wellbeing, for which it relies on the OECD definition, namely: “the psychological, cognitive, social and physical functioning and capabilities that students need to live a happy and fulfilling life.’
In establishing a wellbeing rating for each school, it considers how happy schools are and the systems each has in place to promote wellbeing.
