Add a review about Uptown High School.

Uptown High School (UHS) IB Diploma program starts from September 2009 for Grade 11 students. Grade 12 (second year of IB Diploma program) classes assumed to start in September 2010. Grades 11 and 12 to be known as DP1 and DP2?
Head of Uptown High School is Tony Sharman (since January 2009?)
Email and telephone contacts etc updated (mbotha@uptownprimary.ae no longer valid, tel +971-4-2886270 and fax +971-4-2886271 are for Uptown Primary).
Email info@uptownhigh.ae should also be valid.
Fees information for 2009-2010 not found, but as the KHDA rating for 2008-2009 was "Acceptable", Uptown High is entitled to a 9% increase which would imply 49,000-59,000 dhs for 2009-2010 up to grade 10. Grade 11 and 12 fees are likely to be higher. Additional registration fee AED 500.

Grade	6	7	8	9	10	11	12
Registration fee (AED)	2000	2000	2000	2000	2000	2000	2000
Annual fees (AED) (estimate only, not confirmed)	49,000	51,000	53,000	56,000	59,000	64,000	69,000

Facilities include basketball court, gymnasium, football field, library, specialist rooms (dance, design and technology, drama, IT, music, science, etc) swimming pool (25m)
Uptown High website says they have "facilities for the physically challenged" and "Exceptional children with specific learning needs are catered for through a dedicated department staffed by qualified and passionate specialists in this important area of education." Not clear what level of special needs students are accepted.

Uptown High School (UHS) offers the IBMYP program up to grade 10, not clear from website if or when classes will be extended to grades 11 & 12 but presumably grade 11 will start September 2009 and grade 12 the year after.
Tuition fees 45,000-54,000 for 2008-2009. Add 2000 dhs registration fees.
Uptown High has the same principal and owner (Taaleem, was previously called Beacon Education) as Uptown Primary School (UPS or Uptown School) but is in a different location.

Many popular schools are full for 2009-2010. New schools in Dubai may have places.
Allow extra for books, extra-curricular activities, uniforms, trips, etc if not included in school fees.
