Upon completing twelve years of education, students receive a high school diploma recognized by the UAE Ministry of Education. Our high school diploma, in tandem with the educational preparation we designed, has enabled our graduates to attend universities all over the world.

About The International School of Arts and Sciences:

At ISAS, we implement a twelve-year American program based on a core curriculum that encourages students to recognize their potential in both the arts and sciences.  

Choosing a school for one's child is a very important responsibility. Parents naturally want the best for their children, preferring primary schools where children are happy, where expectations are consistently high, where there is a positive ethos and where the children emerge well-prepared, both academically and socially, for the challenge of their secondary phase of education.

At ISAS, we aim to provide a school environment where children feel secure, where they are involved and excited by their learning and where they expect to work hard and enjoy success.

Internationalism at ISAS is the creative promotion of cultures from around the world through an interdisciplinary curriculum and a school-wide program that foster appreciation and respect, thus preparing our students for life in an increasingly, innovative globalized society.
