We are proud that we have been selected by the Microsoft Corporation to be a Showcase School. To date, this elite status is given to only around 500 schools across over 90 countries worldwide.
It is a status which makes us part of a community comprised of “leading educators and outstanding schools across the globe”. In addition, it gives us access to a valuable bank of resources for IT Integration in teaching / pedagogy.
AAG has been very active in considering IT integration into our teaching environment to cope with the fast pace in every sector and endeavor, globally. By doing so, we don’t only provide recognition to school itself, but this privilege is also extended to teachers through high calibre courses provided to enhance teaching and interactive encountering with students in classrooms, therefore the experience is further extended to students, who become more of computational and critical thinkers, rather than just observers and rote learners.
American Academy For Girls is one of only 10 Microsoft Showcase Schools in the United Arab Emirates.
When technology is accessible, individuals can be stimulated to do remarkable things on every other level. Moving in this direction, our school falls in line with the vision of HH Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum for Smart Learning in UAE and choosing best class partners for a highly evolved education in UAE. We are proud to be part of such a visionary student focus program.
