There is a famous quote that tells us to become students of change because change is the only thing that remains constant. This is certainly true regarding the American School of Dubai. We are a living testament to all of the change that has occurred in Dubai during the past ten years. Perhaps the most obvious example of the change we are experiencing is the building of the new ASD Campus which will open for the 2010 school year. As we expand our facilities, staffing and student numbers, we once again realize that indeed, change is the only constant.
However, we also realize that our long school history has been a living testament to our commitment to our children and families by instilling such American values as accepting diversity, respecting the individual, working together and by following best practices in American education.
The American School of Dubai was established over forty years ago to serve the needs of the North American families and other expatriate populations of Dubai. ASD was the first American curriculum school established in Dubai and to this day, we are still the only non-profit American school located in the emirate. All resources, tuition and endowments go directly towards the benefit and education of our children. ASD is fully accredited in the United States by Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges. Our mission is clear; we challenge and assist students to become intellectually adept, thoughtful and ethical contributors to society.
I invite you all to explore our school. As a potential student, parent, or educator we bid you to not only see what we offer in academic excellence, but also what we provide to build confident individuals of strong character who will positively impact the world.
Welcome to the ever changing community of the American School of Dubai. We pride ourselves on being a community of responsive, active learners. We are compassionate goal keepers who are committed to build policies and possibilities for children by leading and helping them to live the life imagined.
If we can help you in any way, or if you need more information, please contact us.
