The First Academy Ajman

The First Academy Ajman, established in 1998, is a prominent co-educational institution in Ajman, UAE, serving students from Kindergarten 1 to Grade 12. The school prides itself on offering a dual curriculum, combining the robust American Curriculum—based on Common Core State Standards and other national benchmarks—with the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Education Curriculum for Arabic subjects. This approach ensures students receive a holistic education that aligns with both international standards and local values. Accredited by both the US (Cognia) and the UAE Ministry of Education, The First Academy is committed to educational excellence. Its mission is to cultivate a community of learners with active and creative minds, fostering the total development of each child: spiritually, morally, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically, within a healthy, safe, caring, and supportive environment. The academy emphasizes a broad, balanced, and student-centered approach, preparing students for standardized tests like IELTS/SAT and advanced placement tests crucial for university admissions. The campus boasts an impressive array of facilities designed to support a comprehensive learning experience for over 2,000 students. These include two large gyms, two swimming pools, two libraries, six fully equipped science laboratories (including two STEAM labs), three ICT labs, and two art rooms. Additionally, there's a dedicated resources room for SEN students, a professional development center, and a wide range of sports facilities and playgrounds, along with a clinic, prayer area, and canteen. The school also offers a program of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, including field trips and competitions, to enhance learning and inspire students' 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.
