- To enquire about Al Bateen Secondary School (ABSS?), contact Al Muna Primary School in Abu Dhabi.
- Curriculum will be IGCSE for Years 10 and 11. International Baccalaureate (IB) is under consideration for Years 12 and 13.

- Construction of the new Aldar Academies school will be completed by June 2011 according to a report in Construction Week, which referred to the school as the Aldar Academy rather than the Al Bateen School (as it is called on the Aldar Academies website).
