Asian International Private School - Madinat Zayed

The Asian International Private School was established in 1987 and moved to newly refurbished premises in Zayed City in May 2012. It is one of three schools belonging to a chain within the UAE. Its vision is to “create an environment in which children can foster retention and transfer their learning experience into wider areas of life that await them” and it aims to achieve this by having a ‘harmonious blend of moral, cultural and modern system of education creating a unique ethos of transcending all kinds of narrow and parochial barriers’.

The move to new premises facilitated a doubling of the school roll from 365 to 649 within two years. The 349 boys and 300 girls are organised into four sections:Kindergarten (KG) with 175 children, Grades 1 – 5 with 304 students, Grades 6 ‐ 9 with 123 students and Grade 10 with 30 students. 87% of students are Muslim. The school has not identified any students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and currently none who are Gifted or Talented. Eighteen nationalities are represented of whom 45% are Indian, 28% Pakistani, 10% Bangladeshi, 5% Sudanese and 4% Egyptian.
