The goal of the Achievement Academy Bridge Program at American University of Sharjah is to help new AUS students improve their English language skills and prepare for university success, while enjoying everything AUS student life has to offer.

Since Fall 2014, the Achievement Academy has matriculated more than 700 students.

Students who matriculate from the Achievement Academy do not have to take the English Placement Test and are eligible to register for the WRI 101 course. 

When they begin their undergraduate program, not only do many students from the Achievement Academy Bridge Program (AABP) achieve success in their studies, but they also excel in the extracurricular roles they take on.
