Honoring Local Culture and Values
While our education is globally oriented, Rushmore American School is deeply committed to fostering an appreciation for the rich culture, values, and traditions of the UAE. "The Rushmore Learner" is not only academically accomplished but also carries a deep respect for their heritage. Through our curriculum’s focus on the Arabic language, Islamic education, and the unique history of Sharjah and the UAE, we instill a sense of national pride and belonging. This strong connection to local culture ensures that our students grow up with a profound understanding of their roots and a respect for their identity.
Preparing Global Citizens
Our mission is to prepare students to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world. "The Rushmore Learner" will be a true global citizen—poised to contribute positively to the world around them, whether in Sharjah or on an international stage. With our emphasis on linguistic and cultural diversity, students learn to value multiple perspectives and communicate effectively across cultures. In September 2025, we will open our doors to the first cohort of students who will learn not only to excel academically but also to engage with empathy, adaptability, and a global mindset.
Building Character: A Moral Compass for Life
At Rushmore American School, we believe that education goes beyond academics. We are dedicated to nurturing well-rounded individuals with a strong moral compass. "The Rushmore Learner" is taught that success is not just about personal achievements but also about the positive impact one can make on others. Through our school’s culture and values-based curriculum, we encourage students to lead with kindness, integrity, and respect for diversity. This emphasis on character building ensures that our graduates leave with the ethical foundation needed to navigate complex social and ethical issues thoughtfully and confidently.
Empowering Students for an Interconnected Future
Ultimately, our promise to parents is to create an environment where students can grow academically, socially, and ethically. By opening in September 2025, we are setting the stage to welcome our first group of students into a community that nurtures their dreams, supports their growth, and empowers them to become the next generation of leaders, innovators, and compassionate citizens. "The Rushmore Learner" is an individual who will excel in the classroom and carry forward a strong sense of self, purpose, and responsibility into the world.
Rushmore American School is more than just a school; it’s a promise of holistic education, character development, and a supportive community that believes in the potential of every child. Starting in September 2025, we look forward to welcoming students and families into this journey, dedicated to shaping young minds and preparing them to make meaningful contributions to a brighter future.
