Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to “reimagine education in Abu Dhabi”!
The school primary years are pivotal in shaping a child’s academic, social, and personal development. These formative years lay the foundation for lifelong learning, as children develop key skills like problem-solving, literacy, and numeracy while building confidence in how they interact with the world around them.
This week’s Winter Concerts at NAS Abu Dhabi have been a vibrant celebration of music, creativity, and community. From our youngest performers in EYFS to the skilled musicians in Secondary, every moment reflected the energy, talent, and commitment of our students, and the importance of an education that values the creative and performing arts.
