Welcome Message 

Greetings from International Academic School, an Abu Dhabi Distinguished School. From its inception, International Academic School has been committed to providing an environment that welcomes and challenges every person, students and staff alike, to learn and grow.  IAS has undergone major changes over the past several years as its staff strives to increase achievement and equity for all of its students.

Following in the spirit of our school's vision of high achievement for all students, rigor and relevance play a key role in the development of curriculum and instruction at IAS. 

IAS is one of the comprehensive schools in the UAE, first opened to students in 1987. We serve approximately 670 students from very diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, primarily from Abu Dhabi and near by suburb areas. Our Mission Statement commits us to holding all students to high academic standards in an environment that provides personalized support. Accordingly we seek new ways to help all students embrace the knowledge and skills needed to adapt and thrive in a world of change. For that reason we have earned several accreditations (British and American).

We welcome you to our web site, confident that it will reflect our pride, serve as a source of information about IAS and its programs, and provide access to our staff. We view this site as a constantly evolving means of improving communication with our community. Therefore, as you explore our web pages we hope you will ask questions and share any suggestions you have for improvements. Please feel welcome to contact us at any time.
