02 June 2009
- An American Academy for Girls in Ras Al Khaimah (RAK AAG) is opening in September 2009. Apart from the name, there appears to be no connection with the Dubai AAG.
06 September 2008
- Fees remain the same for 2008-2009 academic year? KHDA information is that AAG asked for 40% increase but was ineligible as they had already increased fees by 16% for 2007-2008.
- See also list of other Beacon Education schools (renamed / sold to Madaares then Taleem / Taaleem).
14 September 2007
- Contact information and fees updated. Email dscotto@aag.ae may also be valid.
- All teachers are North American trained but come from several different countries.
- Class sizes intended to be from 15-18 students.
- Research showing that girls learn better in an all-girls school environment was the motive for making AAG a girls only school.
28 October 2006
- Multi-national student body with most teachers from North America.
- Beacon Education company contact information sometimes given on other sources (tel +971-43498806, fax +971-4-3498807, PO Box 76691).
- Other email addresses seen (may not be working) principal@aag.ae or d_scotto@aag.ae.
- Website domain www.aag.ac is not for AAG.
- School also referred to as "Al-Mizhar American Academy School for Girls"
