30 November 2012
- Ajman is now in Dubai, or the Ajman Academy is, according to a news report which said "London-based Penoyre & Prasad has completed the initial phase of an international baccalaureate school in Dubai ... Penoyre & Prasad is building the Ajman Academy for the Ajman University of Science and Technology."
- We think it's more likely the reporter had a geography malfunction than Penoyre & Prasad building the school in the wrong place.

- News reports said the Ajman Academy was officially launched on 25 April 2012, and classes from nusery to grade 5 would start from September 2012.

19 February 2012
- Another UAE newspaper, The National, did a story on the new school in Ajman, also saying it would be called The Ajman Academy, or Ajman Academy.
- The school plans emphasise the teaching of Arabic. The founding director, Anthony Cashin, was quoted as saying "We don't want to be one of these schools who pay lip service to the teaching of Arabic. This often leads to disappointment of parents of children in international schools ... We aim to pay particular focus on the Arabic language and will apply a more hands-on approach to learning."
- Facilities include campus area of 60,000 square-meters; art, drama, and music studios; indoor and outdoor sports facilities.
- The new school plans to have 250 students in the first year, enrolled in the IB Primary Years Program (PYP) this year.
- The school has applied for IB candidate status, and plans to apply for IB accreditation in 2014.

- Another new school is opening in Ajman - The Ajman First Academy. Not clear if it is a different school, or a new name for the Ajman Academy School.
- There is also an International Academy in Ajman, but that is a tertiary institute of some sort, presumably unrelated to the Ajman Academy or Ajman First Academy.
