Does anyone have any information on the SRS Dubai school (School or Research Science). I'm considering accepting a job here, but have struggled to find any information :?

I have a couple friends who have been working w/ SRS for the last 5 years w/o issue (aside from one or two head of dept problems which are now resolved). It is an Islamic school, so the dress code is a bit stricter than most schools in Dubai. The children are all Emirati, and according to my friend who teaches primary there tend to be a lot of kids w/ very low levels of English-a good few of them w/ moderate learning challenges.
SRS offers their own accommodation, or one can opt to get their own place. I don't think the allowance is really enough given Dubai's rising rents. The provided flats are quite nice, though you are a) sharing a building w/ all of your colleagues b) living in the Al Qasais neighbourhood of Dubai (not the prettiest and LOADS of construction which makes driving suck).
I don't know that SRS is the best package in Dubai for k-12 educators, but it's certainly not the worst. I hope that helps!
