Pakistan Education Academy (PEA), one of the first Pakistani institutions in the UAE, was founded in 1968. The needs of Pakistani immigrants in Dubai drove the establishment of this private school. With students from many nationalities, it has developed into a crucial aspect of Dubai's academic community. The school’s culture and ethos amalgamate the Pakistani and Emirati cultures.
Three to eighteen-year-olds are served by its elementary and secondary school. The Pakistani National Curriculum serves as the basis for the curriculum. It adheres to the standards for Arabic and Islamic education established by the Dubai Ministry of Education. The UAE National Agenda's goals are where PEA focuses all of its efforts. In 1988, the college moved to its present location.
Pakistan Education Academy received Cambridge International Status in 2020, making it the first Pakistani school to do so in the United Arab Emirates. Up until Grade 2, the co-educational approach is used. From Grade 3 onward, boys and girls take separate classes. The PEA's facilities are adequate and assist the enrichment programming targeted at the general development of students. The school promotes learning in all aspects, including academics, sports, technology, performance arts, multicultural interactions, languages and community interactions.
