The Gulf International Private Academy

The Gulf International Private Academy (GIPA) was established in 2001. It is a private, non-selective, English-medium, co-educational school where classroom are separated by gender as of grade 4 in accordance with Abu Dhabi Department of Education regulations. Our campuses are located in Al Ain, UAE and our school is licensed by the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK). At GIPA, we offer an inclusive K-12 US curriculum that is accredited by Cognia, Georgia, USA which allows our students to join any US or international university upon meeting our graduation requirements.

GIPA has started its journey to become a paperless organization in 2014 when we offered our students, and still do, Apple iPads at no additional cost to the parents. All students’ books are provided in an electronic format on the students’ iPads which helped us get rid of the outdated concept of heavy school bags. Our curriculum incorporates in its design numerous US educational platforms and resources that are differentiated and interactive. Additionally, students have access to thousands of interesting age and cultural appropriate books in Arabic, English and French on our electronic libraries.

We take a lot of pride in this establishment, because we believe that our investment in GIPA is a sacred one; an investment driven by our sense of responsibility towards our culture and community. We have made a commitment to our parents who have entrusted us with their children to spare no effort to develop our students’ social tools and life skills that will ultimately assist them in dealing with everyday life.

One of the key attributes to GIPA is that it is a learning community dedicated to inspiring each student to achieve their dreams and to become a passionate lifelong learner prepared to adapt and contribute in a rapidly changing world. Since GIPA has the whole child development at mind and heart, we design our curriculum to meet all students’ needs accommodating for all students’ abilities, backgrounds and even gender.
