PRINCIPAL'S WELCOME

​

Your child's school years are one of the most important times of their life. You need to know that your son or daughter is safe, with people who genuinely care about them, where they can progress not just academically but in every sense and most importantly where they will be happy and ultimately thrive. 

 

May I take this opportunity to welcome you to our school; one of Dubai's happiest, oldest and most successful schools. We opened our doors for the first time in September 1977 to provide education for the children of expatriate workers involved in the construction of Jebel Ali port. From that small beginning on a warm September day, JAS has grown into the wonderful place it is today. Having moved in 2016 to our new Damac Hills site and a brand new, purpose built environment, JAS is connecting its rich and successful past to our promising and exciting future.  

 

Our staff typically stay a long time at JAS, providing experience, consistency and stability for students, who are at the centre of everything we do. We are incredibly proud of our reputation for successfully balancing well-being and happiness with excellent academic achievement. Historically, one of the top performing Primary Schools in Dubai, we have seamlessly imbued our unique ethos across the whole school, ensuring that all of our students receive the highest standards of education. 

 

Our vision is to create a community that never stops believing that better is always possible and our mission is for each individual to belong, believe and become better than they thought they could. 

​

To belong. By celebrating our differences through authentic relationships we ensure individuals feel like valued, confident, and happy members of JAS - a community with a long standing tradition and heritage of inclusivity and investment in the whole person. 

 

To believe. By exuding positivity and trust, we empower and motivate ourselves to be resilient in the face of adversity.  

 

To become. By embracing opportunities; mastering skills and achieving aspirations, we work together to empower and motivate our students to become better than they believed they could be.

 

Integrity, kindness, resilience, growth-mindedness, inclusivity and excellence are at the heart of our values. We pride ourselves on the successful relationships we build and maintain with your child, with our staff and with you. We will guide, support and nurture your son or daughter from the moment they start with us as a curious and inquisitive three year old right through to when they are eighteen and complete their journey as a successful,  happy and self-confident young adult. 

 

BELONG. BELIEVE. BECOME. BETTER IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE.
