The people who shape the future of our students with passion and purpose

One of the true strengths of RAK Academy are our passionate senior leaders team whose world-class experience in leading within education has led the our schools to be rated the best in the Northern Emirates. Our leaders bring drive, determination and purpose to their roles and focus on providing excellent experiences for our students and parents.
Living in the heart of the community, our experienced teachers are passionate about instilling civic values in children while teaching them about the broader outside world. Focusing on child-centred learning approaches, they are skilled in untapping your child’s potential. 

They have particular expertise in the field of primary education and can bring out the best in early learners. Early childhood is a crucial stage for development as the brain develops rapidly during this time.  At this stage a stimulating environment is crucial, and we encourage communication to ensure your child develops to the utmost of their ability. We value early learning as a complex and vital undertaking and focus on core skills such as reading, writing and mathematics that are the foundation stone for learning. At a RAKA Academy school, your child receives mentorship from motivated teachers to enhance their critical thinking skills, giving them the best possible start in life.
