| Comments / Description |
|
Al Ain English Speaking School was set up by seven local companies located in the city of Al Ain, Abu Dhabi in 1978. The School is now owned by:
H.H. Sheikh Hazza Bin Tahnoun Al Nahyan, and is a declared non-profit School.
We have just completed a 35million dirham expansion including classrooms, indoor swimming pool and a full size gym.
The original model chosen was that of a British system school and that policy has continued to the present. Children can be admitted in the Nursery class, when they have achieved the age of 3 years by 30 August, and continue to take A-Level examinations at age 18.
The curriculum is that of the National Curriculum of England. Pupils take the SATS tests at the end of Key Stage One (Year 2), and Key Stage Two (Year 6). External GCSE and IGCSE exams are taken in Years 10 and 11, and AS/A2-Levels in Year 12 and 13.
Children may also be prepared for Common Entrance Exams, which are the normal means of entry into independent Secondary Schools in UK and elsewhere. It is a priority of the school that the students are prepared for, and can transfer to, British, American and International Universities. In keeping with the philosophy of good modern practice, the curriculum of the school is broad, and appropriate to the multinational and multicultural nature of the pupils. Music, Physical Education, Creative Arts occupy secure places in the programme as well as the more academic subjects. The school is committed to offering appropriate courses at all levels in Information and Communication Technology.
The school is licensed by the UAE Ministry of Education and, according to its directive; a programme of Arabic Language, Arabic Social Studies and Islamic Studies (for Muslim children) is conducted.
