Amity Private School, Sharjah embraces the notion that ‘schooling’ encompasses more than the learning that takes place in classrooms. We believe in a balanced education that provides students with many and varied opportunities to develop new skills and experiences beyond what they may take away from the academic programme and to make significant contributions to the community and the world beyond the school campus.

Creativity, Action and Service (CAS)
