ABOUT AGS

Abu Dhabi Grammar School (Canada) is located in Abu Dhabi, which is the capital and the second largest city in the United Arab Emirates. Abu Dhabi is one of the seven United Arab Emirates. The city lies on a T-shaped island jutting into the Persian Gulf in the Arabian Peninsula. The city and its surrounding communities make up an area of 67,340 km2 (26,000 sq mi). Abu Dhabi houses important offices of the federal government, and is the seat for the United Arab Emirates Government and the home for the Emirati Royal Family. Abu Dhabi has grown to be a cosmopolitan metropolis. Its rapid development and urbanization, coupled with the relatively high average income of its population, has transformed Abu Dhabi. Today the city is the country's center of political, industrial activities, and a major cultural, and commercial centre due to its position as the capital.

The school was founded by Mrs. Fatima Assad and licensed by the UAE Ministry of Education on the 1st of October 1994. The school was moved to its present location in January 2008. Currently we have over 730 students from 36 different nationalities enrolled at AGS. Abu Dhabi Grammar School (Canada) is accredited by the Nova Scotia Department of Education, Nova Scotia, Canada. As a private institution operating in the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi Grammar School (Canada) must fulfill its obligations to the Department of Education in Nova Scotia as well as the Ministry of Education within the UAE. The School offers an enriched and challenging integrated program for approximately 750 students from Pre-School to Grade 12. The KG to Grade 12 curriculum is taught entirely in English except for courses in French, Arabic Language and Islamic Studies for Muslim students.

The unique socioeconomic development of Abu Dhabi has given rise to the emergence of a diverse and multicultural society. The students who attend Abu Dhabi Grammar School (Canada) come from highly diversified ethnic backgrounds. The school employs 52 teachers and 1 guidance counselor along with a comprehensive and efficient administration team. Abu Dhabi Grammar School also offers the services of a full time nurse and a part-time physician to students and teachers in need. In order to accommodate the ever-growing need of student enrolment, the Abu Dhabi Grammar School has undergone a major construction project in 2009, including a new swimming pool, dance room, music room, computer room, science lab and ten additional classrooms.
