Admission Policy

City American School – Ajman is an international educational institution open to students of all nationalities who are able to access a well-rounded education offered in English as the language of instruction. CAS welcomes students of a wide range of abilities. Our admissions philosophy is by nature inclusive, but contained by boundaries set by the child’s ability to access the curriculum in English and the school’s ability to support students who have learning difficulties or special educational needs. City American School provides a high quality, creative and challenging international education, based on the American Curriculum. We foster within each student, staff member and community member an enduring passion for learning and empowering each individual to become a caring global citizen.

Placement by Age and Transfer Certificate

Grade placements are made according to the age norms set by MOE – Ajman. It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to work with the MOE to validate placement of the student in the grade above or below the norm. Government regulation also requires a transfer certificate for all students from the child’s current school in order to facilitate the correct placement. CAS abides by the MOE – Ajman statutory requirement which is explained in detail in the table and bullet points given below.
