Our Own English High School Dubai

Thursday 18 March 2010 (UAE)

KHDA inspection rating: Good (report issued 17 Feb 2010), 12% fee increase allowed for 2010-2011

Might be marked on map as "Indian Secondary School", next to the Gem Private School. Not the same as the Indian High School a bit further down the road.
website www.ooehs-dxb.sch.ae no longer appears to be in operation.
Principal name updated (was Mr Madhav Rao or Mrs Shobhana Verghese).
Headmistress is Mrs Lalitha Suresh (previously Assistant Principal at the Cambridge International School in Dubai).
Fees information from OOEHS website not yet updated for 2008-2009, but OOHS in Al Warqaa has 5700-10,150 dhs per year (presumably for 2008-2009).
KHDA information is that OOEHS applied for 45% fees increase. As fees increased by 16% already for 2007-2008, this would normally mean no increase for 2008-2009 but KHDA information is unclear about what increase is permitted for OOEHS.
Fees are payable monthly for 10 months of the year (not in July and August).
Add AED 120-170 per month transportation fees (maybe more for 2008-2009).

School began in 1968 in the Bastakiya area of Dubai with 27 students and 3 teachers (OOEHS website). Website may not be up to date - lists awards from 2002. Note that school is K-12 despite having 'High School' in the name. K George Mathew (Matthew?) was headmaster in 2002. Now a GEMS School, see also the list of GEMS schools.
Our Own High School Al Warqaa is for boys, new premises in Al Warqaa 2005, extended in 2006. Grade 5-12 boys attend Our Own English High School Al Warqaa as of 2005 (March?). With boys at Al Warqaa and girls at Oud Metha location, school runs morning shifts only.
Other information (unconfirmed): Head of girls school is Mr Mohammad Abdul Hamid (headmaster from 2003/2004)? Will be replaced by Mrs Asha Alexander from the Modern High School primary section in 2007?
School may also be referred to as Our Own High School, Our Own School Oud Metha, Our Own Oud Metha, Ood Metha, Oud Metah, Oud Meta, Ood Meta, Od Metha, Oud Maitha, Old Maitha.
