American National School is an international college-preparatory school for students in grades KG-12. ANS’s American Common Core curriculum is structured to develop disciplined habits, to stimulate critical thinking, and to develop the skills necessary for success in the 21st Century. The school strives to instill five characteristics in its students. The goal is to educate our students to be open to growth, intellectually competent, leaders, caring, and globally aware while maintaining the heritage and culture of UAE. ANS’s approach to education is based on the American Common Core Standards, UAE’s National Curriculum and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). It begins with a deep respect for students and their potential. ANS’s faculty challenges students to strive for personal excellence in all aspects of life — intellectual, emotional, moral, and physical. Our passion for life-long learning leads the rigor of intellectual exchange and the varied challenges our students’ experience at ANS, and in the world beyond.
