THE SCHOOL DAY

The Academic Year

The school calendar must be approved by the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) every year The instructional program is organized into three terms:

Term 1: August - December

Term 2: January - March

Term 3: April – July

The exact dates are determined annually as per the ADEK approved calendar

Drop-off

Doors to the school open at 7:30 AM and all students must be in their homeroom by 8:00 AM for registration.

The SZPAG uses a staggered entry system in September for Pre-K and KG1 children. Students come to school in smaller groups for shorter periods of time during the first two weeks. All acceptances Pre-K to KG2 are conditional until the ADEK system is closed for school transfer. If it becomes apparent during this time that a student would benefit from a delay in the commencement of formal schooling, we reserve the right to revoke the offer of a place.
