23 September 2009 review

Head's name updated, previously principal was Mr Wynn John, or P.K. Joel (date of change unknown)?

02 February 2007 review

Gulf Indian High School (GIHS) domain www.gihsdubai.com has same website as www.gihs.sch.ae.
Classes in mornings for girls, afternoons for boys.
Founded by Mr John M Thomas (president).
A Khaleej Times report 12 September 2005 highlighted "Al Khaleej Indian Private School" (presumably the same as Gulf Indian School) as one in which the principal, "Whinny John", was also a licence partner, which is not allowed according to the report.

General comments - might not apply to Gulf Indian High School

Many popular schools are full for 2015-2016. New schools in Dubai might have places.
Allow extra for books, extra-curricular activities, uniforms, trips, etc if not included in school fees.
