SPEA licenses it as Raffles International School L.L.C, Sharjah Branch 1, for Pre-KG to Grade 8, with fees approved for 2026-2027, its first academic year; the school plans to add grade levels each year until a full Kindergarten-to-Secondary pathway is in place, with a US High School Diploma pathway in the senior years. It is a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate's Primary Years and Middle Years Programmes. The campus covers 485,000 square feet, with a networked library, science, computer and design technology labs, specialist rooms for music, art, dance, drama and languages, three climate-controlled multipurpose halls, two swimming pools, a running track and shaded basketball, padel and tennis courts.
