Sharjah, UAE · est. 1986 · Private
Illustration · Sharjah
One of the older schools in Sharjah: the regulator counts its work from December 1986. It stands in the Al Azra district, teaches the American curriculum in a full line from KG1 to the twelfth year, that is from the age of four to graduation, and passed its last inspection with a rating of Good, the second band of the Sharjah scale. In the international accreditation column the regulator records COGNIA for it. The school has no site of its own: it keeps neither a domain nor a page on which it would tell about itself, and its whole public side amounts to a line in the register of the Sharjah Private Education Authority, with a service telephone number and an email address. As a result the school tells the reader nothing about tuition, pupil numbers, the campus, teachers, clubs or examination results.

College BoardCollege Board, the AP programme
An American organisation that allows a school to put the letters AP on a pupil's transcript. The permission is granted course by course and tied to a particular teacher, it has to be renewed every year, and College Board reads the course syllabus before granting it.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run advanced AP courses - not the school as a whole, but one by one: by subject and by teacher. Governance, safeguarding and the primary years are not part of that check. Which subjects are actually approved is visible in the ledger. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. Authorisation here runs a year at a time: the register lists the school for the 2025-2026 school year.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 7 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
