The American School of Dubai has a rich history, one that dates back to the very early years of Dubai. Founded by the Dubai Petroleum Company, the school has grown from merely a handful of students learning together in a small apartment in Deira, to nineteen hundred students learning together at our vibrant, state-of- the-art Al Barsha campus.
The American School of Dubai is an independent, not-for-profit, US curriculum, PreK-12 international school that provides learning experiences designed to promote the maximum potential of its students.
Founded in 1966 by the Dubai Petroleum Company and formerly known as Jumeirah American School, ASD has a rich and vibrant history. ASD is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
