The New Filipino Private School (NFPS) occupies a unique position as the first Filipino school in the United Arab Emirates to be granted a license to operate using the Filipino curriculum. This curriculum, approved by both the Philippine Department of Education and the UAE Ministry of Education, underscores the school's commitment to providing quality education to the Filipino community in the UAE. The achievement of this significant milestone is a testament to the dedication and vision of the school's founders, including Miss Aghsan Mousa, Mrs. Myrtle Fernandez, and Mrs. Zenaida Dizon. Their shared goal was to establish an educational institution that would cater to the specific needs of the Filipino community in the UAE. The school's successful launch in September 1996, under the guidance of accomplished educators like Mrs. Luzviminda Corpuz, Mrs. Lolita Irong, and Mrs. Anna Castillo, laid the groundwork for a robust and reputable educational institution. Drawing upon the expertise of 21 experienced and qualified teachers recruited from various schools in Manila, NFPS was well-prepared to provide a high standard of education. NFPS experienced rapid growth, exemplified by the expansion from three to four buildings within just the second year of operation. This expansion underscores the school's popularity and the trust it garnered from the Filipino community in Sharjah. With a strong emphasis on key subjects such as mathematics, science, English, Filipino, and MAKABAYAN, NFPS effectively implements the Philippine curriculum. This focus has yielded students who have excelled in qualifying examinations for various universities in the Philippines, highlighting the school's unwavering commitment to academic excellence and its role in preparing students for higher education and future success. Strategically located at the heart of Sharjah, NFPS offers easy accessibility to the Filipino community, making it a convenient and preferred choice for families seeking quality Filipino education for their children.
