Universal American School (UAS), established in 2005, has been steadfast in its commitment to nurturing students and cultivating compassionate, self-assured learners who are deeply connected to their identities and values. The concept of "community" is central to the ethos of UAS, underscoring the tight-knit and supportive culture that thrives within the school. UAS is a modestly-sized, not-for-profit educational institution conveniently situated in the family-friendly Festival City. As a not-for-profit school operating under the governance of the Al Futtaim Education Foundation, any surplus generated from school fees is thoughtfully reinvested back into the school. This strategic approach ensures that resources are diligently utilized to provide students with the most enriching and impactful learning experiences possible. Furthermore, the collaboration with Al Futtaim opens up distinctive opportunities for students to engage in real-world learning experiences, setting UAS apart from other educational institutions. These immersive encounters empower students to tackle genuine challenges and develop practical skills that extend beyond the confines of traditional academics. At UAS, students are presented with a wide array of avenues to explore their passions and interests. Whether it's participating in the Fringe Festival, contributing to school productions, joining sports teams, engaging in Model United Nations debates, or becoming part of committees dedicated to Emirati culture or the National Honor Society, there is a niche for every individual. The school's warm and vibrant ambiance creates an ideal environment for personal growth and intellectual development. UAS extends a cordial invitation to prospective students, parents, and visitors, encouraging them to personally experience the inclusive and welcoming atmosphere that defines life at UAS.
