Al Shola American School (SAS) is a private, co-educational K–12 school in Al Tallah 2, Ajman, developed by the Al Shola Group, which has a longstanding presence in Ajman's education sector. The American School campus serves students aged 4 to 18 and follows the U.S. National Curriculum, based on the Common Core State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
SAS is accredited by the Accreditation Commission of Schools and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). The school's educational philosophy is built around what it calls the TEAM approach: Board, community, Teachers, Administration, and Students working together. Its teaching staff includes native English speakers with relevant qualifications and experience. The school serves a diverse student body drawn from a wide range of nationalities.
SAS suits families specifically looking for an accredited U.S.-curriculum education at a more accessible price point than some of Ajman's other American-curriculum schools, within a central, well-connected part of the emirate.
SAS sits in Al Tallah 2, a sub-community known for its concentration of well-regarded schools, close to Al Tallah Camel Racecourse and Saudi German Hospital. Al Tallah 2 forms part of the wider Al Mowaihat area, one of Ajman's established freehold villa corridors.
Villas are the dominant property type in this part of Ajman, typically in 3- to 7-bedroom configurations, with a growing supply of apartments and townhouses for families who prefer not to take on a full villa. Al Mowaihat 1 and Al Mowaihat 3 are both a short drive from the SAS campus.
