Ajman Academy is very much a community in which all members share in each other's learning; be it related to the physical, emotional, social or academic development. At the heart of our vision is inquiry, ownership of learning and the development of the whole child. This means that we as educators model, discuss and assess not only knowledge but skills and attitudes that will enable our students to succeed in an ever-changing future. The physical facilities our school are state of the art and purpose-built to accommodate inquiry-based learning with technology embedded throughout. All classrooms have interactive Ver-tables and Apple-tv to allow students to share directly from their iPads.

At Ajman Academy, we believe that learning should grow from what students already know, believe and have experienced. Involvement of the students from the outset, in guiding the direction of the learning according to their needs and interests as much as possible, empowers them in the learning process. Students are involved in the ongoing process of formative assessment whereby teacher, peer feedback and self-evaluation form the basis of reflection upon which future learning targets are set. Students at Ajman Academy are provided with the skills to be self-driven learners and the implementation of 1:1 devices allow our students to continue their learning beyond the physical school environment and the official school day. Our students learn through observing, hypothesising and exploring the world around them through an inquiry-based approach. The IB Learner Profile, our guiding framework is at the heart of everything we do at Ajman Academy, and encourages our students to be inquirers, thinkers, knowledgeable, communicators, caring, principled, open-minded, reflective, well-balanced and risk-takers.
