UAS has recently become a not-for-profit school governed by the Al Futtaim Education Foundation.

Parents will know that any surplus generated by their school fees will be put back into the school.  Also, working alongside an organization like Al Futtaim has uniquely positioned the school to provide real-world learning experiences to their students that other schools simply can not offer.

Universal American School is a wonderful place to grow and learn.  Whether you want to participate in the Fringe Festival, one of the four annual school productions, watch one of the 30+ sports teams, debate politics with the Model United Nations students, or learn about the Emirati committee or the National Honor Society, UAS has something to offer everyone.
