Introducing NAS Abu Dhabi, a new premium school on Al Reem Island
Located in the heart of Abu Dhabi's Al Reem Island, NAS Abu Dhabi opened its doors to students this August. The school sets a new standard for education in the Middle East thanks to one-of-a-kind facilities, world-class teachers, and a unique curriculum designed to inspire innovation and global citizenship.
NAS Abu Dhabi offers a comprehensive education programme for students aged 3 to 18, including the English National Curriculum with IGCSEs and A-Levels, giving students the values, life skills, and knowledge they will need to thrive in our ever-changing world. For its inaugural year, NAS Abu Dhabi currently enrols 350 students from FS1 to Year 8. With 41 teachers and 30 additional support roles, the school has a strong focus on personalisation of curriculum pathways.

Our school's unique learning environment is allowing our students' imagination and creativity to flourish and our community to connect. We're all excited about what the future holds and being part of this journey is really special."
