History of Al Ma’arifa International School

This year, Al-Ma'arifa International Private School celebrates its 30th anniversary. It has been three decades since the school was established as a modest building with a limited teaching staff and classrooms.

“Leading Al-Ma’arifa International Private School (MIS) for approximately three decades of relentless efforts with our staff, students, parents, and supporters from different walks of life in our beloved Emirate of Sharjah, I can assure you as a director that our school’s improvement and development has never come to a halt."

The School’s Board of Directors, Board of Trustees, and School Management have extended full support and development as per the School’s vision, mission, and strategic objectives, fostering high-quality education, an effective learning environment, and humanistic global values.

The fact that our student population has steadily increased over time is strong evidence of MIS's quality educational service across all levels and teaching programs.

I would confidently say that none of these accomplishments could have been achieved without the teamwork of our dedicated staff and the continued support from parents, the community, the Board of Trustees, and the Board of Directors.

AMPIS has successfully signed several memorandums of understanding with prestigious institutions such as the American University of Sharjah, The American University in the Emirates, The Canadian University of Dubai, The Skyline University College, University of Dubai, and others soon to be signed. The establishment of the Quality Assurance Department (QAD) has played a vital role in improving and supporting staff, curriculum, and overall school performance.

The QAD has also continued to issue the School’s Newsletter as a communication tool between the school and both its internal and external communities. With substantial support from experienced educators, the QAD has organized classroom visits and training workshops for teachers, focusing on professional development. Several curriculum committees and sub-committees have been established to review, evaluate, and update curricula. Efforts are underway to enhance the utilization of ICT in classrooms and across the school. Practical steps are also being taken towards improving student assessments and testing systems.
