Dear Visitor

Welcome to the website of the Ras Al Khaimah Campus of the Applied Technology Schools (ATS). I hope that you will enjoy your visit and will discover why our world-class school graduates are among the most successful not only in the UAE, but across the whole Gulf region.

The government of the UAE has challenged educational organizations across the seven Emirates to play a central role in the development of the “human capital” of this country. At ATS Ras Al Khaimah, we are proud of the role we play in educating and training the most talented young Emirati scientists, technologists and technicians, those who will contribute during their careers to the development of a secure, diversified and competitive future economy for Ras Al Khaimah and the wider UAE.

Every one of our students graduates from the ATS-RAK Campus with an advanced level of knowledge in the scientific and mathematical disciplines. During their time at the school, our students also learn the skills required to apply their understanding of scientific and mathematical concepts to find solutions to “real world” problems and challenges. Cross-curricular project work (for example through the STEAM initiative and preparation for national competitions) provides an opportunity for our students to work in teams, to be creative, to develop their design and innovation skills, and to discover the satisfaction of a “hands-on” approach to learning. Through team-based learning activities we develop our students’ 21st century skills of collaboration, communication and positive competition. Every day we challenge our students to be evaluative, to think critically, and to use these skills to make positive choices in their lives. And through cultural events, competitions, sport and other activities we aim to inspire our students with a sense of purpose, enthusiasm, personal ambition and a high level of patriotism.

Throughout their time at the school, our students benefit from the valuable partnerships that we have developed with business and industrial organizations in the UAE and overseas. Through a programme of work placements, internships, industrial visits and guest speakers, these partnerships provide a firm foundation from which our students can orientate themselves to the world of work, develop their vocational skills, and understand the many exciting career pathways available to them.

In these ways and others we have placed our school at the forefront of the Emiratization of technological and scientific careers in the country. Whether you are a parent, a prospective student, a teacher or an employer, I hope you will find our website and our school an inspiration!
