In its seventh year as one of an elite number of KHDA “Very Good” schools within the Indian CBSE curriculum school sector, Our Own English High School operates at a level significantly above that of a “Good” school, the expected level of performance for schools across the emirates. The school operates in the top-5 of Indian schools in Dubai and is ...
