Rawafed Private School

Rawafed Private School is an American curriculum school in Khalifa City A, Abu Dhabi, accredited by Cognia, with around 1,700 students from about 20 nationalities. Kindergarten (KG1 and KG2) runs in a separate unit that builds early language, motor and social skills. Class teachers take Grades 1 to 4, and from Grade 5 specialist teachers cover English, Arabic, mathematics, the sciences, computer science, Islamic and social studies, moral education and PE, with robotics in Grades 7 and 8. In the upper grades students take AP Mathematics and choose three options such as AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics, economics, business studies, psychology or sociology, preparing for TOEFL, SAT and AP exams and a diploma at the end of Grade 12.

Rawafed's values are integrity, respect, ambition, diversity and responsibility. Its vision is a safe and caring environment in which a professional staff team supports the all-round development of every student, so that each one grows into an active member of the community.

The school has six laboratories: four for science and two for ICT. Indoor and outdoor recreation areas are open to pupils at break and lunch times, and an on-site canteen serves Halal, nutritionally balanced meals prepared with locally sourced produce.

The school runs its own bus fleet across the greater Abu Dhabi area, with two morning and two afternoon services, a transport assistant on every bus and buses for school field trips. Tuition covers courses, textbooks and many extracurricular activities, while SAT, TOEFL and MAP tests are charged separately.
