Welcome to the American School of Dubai (ASD), a school deeply committed to the mission of challenging and inspiring each student to achieve their dreams and to become a passionate learner prepared to adapt and contribute in a rapidly changing world.
The American School of Dubai, founded in 1966, enters the ninth full year of operation on the beautiful purpose-built campus in Al Barsha. Although the facilities are indeed superb and represent some of the finest in the Middle East, it is the commitment to the mission and ASD Core Values—Compassion, Excellence, Integrity, Respect, and Responsibility—that serves as a foundation for the learning experiences that prepare students to successfully navigate their future.
As you learn about ASD, you will begin to develop an understanding of what is unique about our school. ASD is an independent, not-for-profit, US curriculum, PreK-Grade 12 international school. Our not-for-profit status enables ASD to focus on the quality of education over satisfying investment expectations of shareholders. Tuition helps fund the cost of education to deliver on our educational mission that is dedicated to educating the whole student. ASD continues to build on the rich and extensive history of more than 50 years to continuously improve the quality of the learning experience provided to 1,900 students.
The American School of Dubai, an independent, not-for-profit, US curriculum, international community school, offers what is best about American education to provide learning experiences designed to promote the maximum potential of its students.
ASD was established in 1966, before the founding of the United Arab Emirates, and is one of the oldest international schools in Dubai. Since that time, ASD has maintained its strong sense of community.
The American School of Dubai has a rich history, one that dates back to the very early years of Dubai. Founded by the Dubai Petroleum Company, the school has grown from merely a handful of students learning together in a small apartment in Deira, to nineteen hundred students learning together at our vibrant, state-of- the-art Al Barsha campus.
Student life and learning have evolved over the decades and ASD has continuously provided rigorous academic and extracurricular opportunities for every student. Although the American School of Dubai has grown and changed over a span of over fifty years, the spirit of community has remained a driving force behind the success of the school and its students.

This is the best school in Dubai hands down. Faculty and facilities are top notch as well as the education I received. Teachers make themselves very available to students and I always felt like they were personally invested in helping me and other students succeed... even when I wasn’t the most compliant and easy to teach/help student.

I attended this school and had a great experience - the teachers and staff were very nice and professional and the facilities on campus were beautiful. The school also offers many extracurriculars and activities outside of regular course content, making it very easy to get involved.

The American School of Dubai has a gorgeous campus, amazing teachers who make learning so fun, and indeed an excellent education.
