Classes are co-educational up to Grade 3 and single-gender from Grade 4, and both have been rated Outstanding in the National Identity Mark evaluation.<\/p><p>The academies were founded on a simple belief: the UAE\u2019s future leaders will lead best when they know their nation\u2019s culture and heritage as well as they know the wider world. That is why a demanding academic programme sits alongside highly developed Arabic literacy and a deep grounding in UAE values.<\/p><p>The aim is to graduate confident, reflective young people who see themselves as global citizens \u2014 and who have the knowledge, language and character to take their place in UAE society and the workplace.<\/p><p>SZPAG opened in 2000 and SZPAB followed in 2015. Today the two campuses serve families across Abu Dhabi under ALAIN Education.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e15dab e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7e15dab\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7015e46 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7015e46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Explore our schools<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf6efcc e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cf6efcc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<a class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5791185 e-con-full szpa-school-card e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5791185\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/v4.startyourown.ae\/?page_id=52\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35248cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"35248cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Sheikh Zayed Private Academy for Boys (SZPAB)<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<a class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ffbc1e e-con-full szpa-school-card e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4ffbc1e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/v4.startyourown.ae\/?page_id=61\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-615c1ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"615c1ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Sheikh Zayed Private Academy for Girls (SZPAG)<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"szpa_school":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-46","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/v4.startyourown.ae\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/46","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/v4.startyourown.ae\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/v4.startyourown.ae\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v4.startyourown.ae\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v4.startyourown.ae\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/v4.startyourown.ae\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/46\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/v4.startyourown.ae\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
