I have two children in Prep School at Sherborne and I like it. It's a very strong school academically, and they have good music/drama and sports programmes. They have a good range of after school activities as well. My eldest has been at the school since it opened 3 years ago. It does appear to be a bit far out, but I'm over by College of North Atlantic and the school run takes me about 20 minutes. Friends in Al Waab say it takes about 30 minutes.

Till today i didnt get paper on the extracuriculer, they have sport activites and they ask student for the favourite sports, my son has selected the badminton. The school timing is from 7.00 till 2:30 pm. In the registration form earlier there are several activities from public speaking, drama, music, sport etc. I am not sure when they will start. time beeing my wife is dropping and picking up my son. Till today we didnt ask to the school on the transport, but we saw minivan vehicle dropping and picking up the students.

I dont know which one is better, but my son recently joined in Debakey school year 7, for almost 3 weeks he attended the school, I could judge that this school is very good. I am so happy with debakey school.
