Welcome to RAK Academy. We have been delivering international education in the beautiful emirate of Ras Al Khaimah since 1975. During that time, we have welcomed countless students of all ages and abilities through our doors— our Academy was founded under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah (RAK).

Located in the scenic emirate of RAK, one of the seven emirates of the UAE, we are honoured to give back to the community we are based in. We offer internationally recognised curricula to more than 2,600 students from more than 80 nationalities.

We offer both the UK curriculum and the International Baccalaureate across all stages of education, including Early Years, Primary School, and Secondary School. Our UK curriculum is implemented across our three branches: Khuzam, Al Hamra, and Al Rams. This curriculum follows the standards set by the United Kingdom and ensures that students receive a well-rounded education in line with international benchmarks.

In addition to the UK curriculum, we are proud to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) at our Khuzam branch. The IB consists of two programs: The Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP). These internationally recognised programs encourage critical thinking, creativity, and a holistic approach to education, empowering students to become lifelong learners and global citizens.

At RAK Academy, we strive to provide a nurturing and inclusive learning environment that supports the individual growth and development of each student. Our dedicated staff are committed to delivering high-quality education that prepares students for future success in higher education and their future careers. We look forward to welcoming passionate educators to join our dedicated and talent team.
