High-quality learning develops knowledge, conceptual understanding, and skills while making authentic connections to the real world. 

High-quality learning equips students to adapt proactively to change, fostering individuals who can make a positive impact through action.

Belonging @ AISA

At AISA, we define belonging as actively honoring the identity and experiences of all community members. As an intercultural community, we strive to foster a sense of belonging by integrating our shared values into our educational practices. We embody UAE values by bridging students' cultural, personal, and community experiences into our curriculum, making learning more meaningful and accessible inside and outside the classroom.

Global Citizenship and Intercultural Learning @ AISA

At AISA, global citizenship means perceiving ourselves as open-minded individuals who seek to balance personal, national, and cultural identity. We practice kindness by respecting and appreciating our differences.  We work hard to develop our understanding of global connections, contribute positively to a changing world, and demonstrate intercultural communication skills by sharing diverse perspectives and learning collaboratively.
