  • Fujairah Private Academy (FPA) moved into new building March 2004.
  • Student body is about 80% Arab and 20% Western / Asian.
  • Most teachers are from the UK.
  • FPA is about the only private school choice for western expats in Fujairah - St Mary's School in Fujairah might be considered by some.
  • Other expenses include school uniforms, stationery, course books for senior students, field trips. School does not provide transport.
  • Email fpa@eim.ae, fpa@emirates.net.ae, jcbretth@emirates.net.ae, or jcbretth@eim.ae might also work.
  • FPA also be referred to as the "Fujairah Academy".
  • There is also a Fujairah Islamic Scientific Academy, a UAE curriculum Arabic language school, which is not related to FPA but could be easily confused as the Fujairah Educational Zone (FEZ) lists it as "Fujairah Academy", while the FEZ has Fujairah Private Academy (FPA) listed as "School of Fujairah" or "Fujairah Private School" or similar.
