Accreditation is the affirmation that a school provides quality education. It is also a means of showing confidence in the institution’s performance. 

Dubai National School- Al Barsha had first achieved full accreditation in May 2003 by New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) through the Commission on International Education (CIE). In 2014, the school had been granted re-accreditation. 

Accreditation by NEASC indicates that a school meets or exceeds established criteria within the profession for the assessment of institutional quality through a periodic process of self-study and peer review. An accredited school has the resources to achieve its stated purposes and provides evidence that its students are benefiting from the curricular and co-curricular program offered at the school. This means that NEASC accreditation attests to substantial compliance with established qualitative standards, integrity in statements to the public describing the institution’s program, institutional commitment to improvement, and sufficiency of institutional resources

Dubai National School- Al Barsha had been granted its second re-accreditation in July 2022 after hosting The NEASC’s External Review ERV visit in May 2022 following the ACE Protocol.
