The Sheikh Zayed Private Academy for Boys

The Sheikh Zayed Private Academy for Boys is located on Al Falah Street, Abu Dhabi. It sits in downtown Abu Dhabi as part of The Sheikh Zayed Private Academies group. The campus is a single building with shared grounds, and school transport operates within Abu Dhabi Island.

The school serves students aged 3 to 19. Pre-K through Grade 3 are co-educational across the SZPA group; from Grade 4 onward SZPAB is all-boys and SZPAG is girls-only.

SZPAB is a boys' day school. The SZPA group operates a co-educational model from Pre-K through Grade 3, transitioning to single-gender provision from Grade 4 (boys at SZPAB, girls at SZPAG).

The school has an Inclusion Team with Learning Support staff, school counselors, and nurses. Learning support is provided based on assessed needs to enable students to reach their potential, and the team advises teachers on appropriate strategies.

The school is based in the United Arab Emirates. The SZPA network promotes Emirati national identity within an international framework and uses a blended curriculum that combines American and UAE MOE components.

There is no explicit religious affiliation. Islamic Studies is included as part of the UAE MOE curriculum alongside Arabic and UAE Social Studies.

The school day starts at 7:55am. Pre-K to KG2 finishes at 12:35pm (Mon–Thu) and 12:00pm on Fridays; Grades 1–12 finish at 2:45pm (Mon–Thu) and 12:00pm on Fridays.
