This article is too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of this school in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates and it also does not cite any references or sources since May 2012. Ayub407 (talk) 18:51, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep per Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes. We treat all high schools as notable because references for them exist, even though they may be hard to find.

 * Keep. Our working consensus is well-established: High schools are considered notable. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  00:31, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep as a secondary school per longstanding consensus and precedent. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:37, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - We keep high schools because experience shows that, with enough research, sources can almost invariably be found that meet WP:ORG. Google is a poor tool for finding sources on UAE schools in English. We need to avoid systemic bias and allow time for local hard-copy and local language sources to be investigated.
