- Philippine National School also referred to as the Philippines National School or maybe Filipino National School in Abu Dhabi.
- Sounded like a nasty place to teach in 2005 when a scrap between teachers and management made the newspaper headlines. School was also warned later that year by the Ministry of Education for several violations, and instructed to upgrade facilities and management. Hopefully has improved since then.
- DECS permit issued 23 February 1999.
