Abu Dhabi International School (AIS) is a private educational institution offering K–12 education, and it holds a license issued by the Ministry of Education in the United Arab Emirates. The school's inception in 1992 is credited to Mrs. Jihan Nasr, who has remained unwavering in her mission: "Supporting all students to reach their full potential in personal development and active citizenship by providing a foundation for lifelong learning through quality education." AIS comprises two campuses: the Abu Dhabi City Campus, which commenced its operations in 1992, and the AIS MBZ City Campus, which was established in 2015. Distinguished by its diverse international student and staff body hailing from more than 70 different nationalities, AIS boasts a total enrollment of 3,500 students as of September 2020. Notably, the school allocates 5% of its student population to individuals with special needs, including those with learning difficulties and disabilities. Despite the school's rich tapestry of cultural diversity, AIS is renowned for fostering a familial atmosphere. The entire AIS community—students, parents, and staff—considers themselves a part of the AIS family. They are deeply committed to upholding the school's nurturing learning environment, promoting a collegial atmosphere, and nurturing a culture of tolerance. Central to this ethos is the belief that the combined efforts of strong home-school partnerships can enable every child to achieve the extraordinary.
