Welcome from Mr Colin, Secondary Principal

Welcome from Mr Colin, Secondary Principal

A very warm welcome to Ajman Academy and thank you for taking the time to peruse our school website.

Ajman Academy is a dynamic and purposeful learning community which enables children to fulfil their potential spiritually, morally, socially, intellectually and physically. We offer a holistic curriculum for children of all ages; curious and inquisitive minds thrive, and hands-on problem-solving, collaborative learning and critical thinking are all to the fore in our learning and teaching.

The school is fully a fully accredited by the International Baccalaureate (for our Middle Years Programme) and by the Council of International Schools, as well as an established member of the British Schools in the Middle East. We are also proudly on the cusp of gaining Apple Distinguished School status which would make Ajman Academy one of only a handful of schools in the UAE to be recognised by Apple for its outstanding use of technology for enhanced learning and teaching.

Confirmation that our curriculum offer here sees our students build upon the IB Primary Years Programme by continuing through Grades 6-7-8 with the inquiry-based philosophy of the IB Middle Years Programme. This provides a strong foundation as we prepare students for globally recognised British Curriculum, International GCSEs (Grades 9-10) and AS-A Levels (Grades 11-12).

From an external examinations perspective, we are very proud of all students who contributed to this year’s best ever IGCSE and AS-A level results, with all local students also gaining Ministry equivalency.  Furthermore, we oversaw some exceptional individual examination performances with students gaining places at esteemed universities both within the UAE and abroad. All of this is evidence-based affirmation of the ongoing and very significant progress that continues throughout the secondary school.

Students at Ajman Academy are happy to be in school and enjoy learning. We recognise that contented students are more diligent, make better progress and produce higher attainment. By promoting student wellbeing and providing a range of learning and teaching strategies, we know we will develop healthy, successful students with lifelong learning skills and attributes.

It is a privilege to lead a school which continues to evolve so impressively, to share it with such a delightful array of Emirati and international students, and to be supported by a high quality team of dedicated staff. Each day we inspire and learn from each other, grow as people and enjoy our individual and collective learning journey.

It is our students, teachers and parents who make Ajman Academy special. The sense of happiness, warmth and achievement is apparent to all who visit, and I invite you to contact the school to book a tour. Come and feel for yourself the welcoming and caring ambience, observe the happy smiles and witness the enjoyment of the learning and teaching at Ajman Academy.

We look forward very much to seeing you.

Mr Colin Bibby, Secondary Principal.
