A test of English and Mathematical competency and Arabic for native speakers are taken.

Fujairah Academy was founded in 1982, as a small Primary school located on a site near the beach. In 1990 the school was extended to provide an education for students of secondary age and as the school expanded a purpose-built campus was built. This has been fully operational since April 2003.
