I t was in 2002 that Emirates National Schools ( ENS ) first began its journey to become a leader in the UAE education sector . Based in Mohamed bin Zayed City , ENS was already the recipient of prestige early on , as it had been commissioned by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan ’ s presidential decree . The organisation soon expanded to five campuses ( Mohamed bin Zayed City , Al Ain City , Abu Dhabi City , Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah ) and currently teaches more than 12,000 students across the country . Combining elements of curricula from the UAE Ministry of Education , USA Next Generation and Colorado Academic Standards , ENS prides itself on providing its pupils with a rigorous and exceptional educational standard .
