Leadership Messages

Hear from our visionary leaders who guide Al Rushed towards excellence in education and character development.

Dear Parents and Students, Al Rushed American Private School continually strives to provide an effective child centric education that concentrates on all-round development of body, mind and spirit inspired by the values of the fair Islamic religion. The major challenge before the institution is to prepare students for the challenging and rapidly changing world. Students now have to face a world that continually demands solid knowledge and abilities; a world that requires the students to become adaptable life-long learners in an ever-changing scenario of new skills and competencies. Our students should develop valuable life-skills and become more independent, resilient, and confident individuals who are able to deal any uncertainties or challenges that they may confront in the future. Our school will continue its endeavors to provide holistic and quality education by infusing each and every student with the zeal to be passionate about learning as well as to be engaged and inspired. We seek the support, involvement, and parental guidance to make our students succeed in their own areas of interest. The development of moral character, values, self-control, and self-discipline will be one of the supreme aims of our institution. Al Rushed American Private School seeks to achieve excellence and leadership in it, and to compete in building and developing this precious country, inspired by the values of fair Islamic religion, benefiting from various successful human experiences, and aiming to be, in the next few years, in the ranks of international schools. All of this is under the motto: Al Rushed American Private School: For effective knowledge and great morals.

Chairman

Dear Parents and Students, Welcome to Al Rushed American School (ARAS). By visiting our website, you will learn a great deal about our educational program and the school community. Selecting a school for your children is one of the most important decisions that we, as parents, need to make. I hope our school website answers the questions you may have. ARAS offers an outstanding American education and has qualified staff. Professional development is embedded into the school calendar for teachers to work together to keep abreast of the best educational practices. What really sets us apart are our four Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs): problem-solving/thinking skills, communication skills, character/interpersonal skills, and organization/ research skills. These 4 SLOs are the backbone of both our educational and co-curricular programs and are assessed throughout the year in all areas. Important in all aspects of life, these four skills bridge the academic world to the real world and prepare our students for the 21st century. ARAS is more than just a learning institution. While educating the next generation of leaders is our top priority, we want our students and families to know that we are a welcoming and inclusive community that strives to help all of its members make meaningful connections with one another. Our approach to education is distinctly different from many of the other schools in Sharjah, and we invite you to see what we have to offer. Should you have any questions about our educational program, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to welcoming you.
