"Education is like a lantern that lights up your way in a dark alley"
                                                                   His Highness Sheikh Zayed.

The Sheikh Zayed Private Academy, owned by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, was established 2000 to fulfill the vision of the Late President, H.H Sheikh Zayed to provide the very highest quality of education in the United Arab Emirates

The Sheikh Zayed Private Academy is a prestigious school based in Abu Dhabi providing international education for students from KG1 through to Year 12.  The exclusive Academy now accepts applications for registration from international and UAE students of good standing. 

The Academy offers a holistic, international education programme based on the American Curriculum.  The school is accredited by NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges) and CIS (Council of International Schools) 

Students at The Sheikh Zayed Private Academy are encouraged to become keen observers of the world around them and develop as critical thinkers. Information Technology is a crucial component of this process. The school instills in the students an understanding of their culture and traditions and will prepare them to serve their children, their families and their country in the future. Our aim is to provide a fully-rounded and holistic development programme, integrated with a preservation of the UAE’s cultural values.

Students at the Academy will be prepared to the highest international standards to take on leading roles in society and to become part of the wider global community.  In addition to a strong academic programme, they will be offered classes in languages, communication skills and social skills with a focus on the development of leadership qualities.
