UAS is truly the gateway to your child’s future, and we are pleased to have this opportunity to invite you in for a closer look. What we provide at UAS is unique among international schools. We not only prepare individuals from many nationalities and cultural backgrounds to become well-rounded and proficient scholars in academics, the arts, and athletics. We are expressly dedicated to educating the whole child, to instilling an enthusiasm for creativity, learning for its own sake, reflection, empathy, and responsibility. Our students know that humanity and compassion are as vital as the mastery of literature or mathematics.
Through our partnership with our multi-national parents, faculty, students, and staff, we have created a unified community and collective spirit that reaches out to embrace all those whose lives we touch, most particularly those who have passed through our doorway and who are now far away from investing their wisdom and talents in building a better world.
The many wonderful people working here at Universal American School truly believe this adage is true and are prepared to ensure your children receive the finest educational opportunities possible. We are committed and dedicated to creating and nurturing outstanding teaching and learning environments where every child receives an exceptional education that is tailored to their unique needs and interests. We will ensure your children receive the essential knowledge and skills to immediately succeed in school and an ever-changing, rapidly growing, and diverse global community.
Our school facility is nothing short of spectacular and truly is a remarkable place for children to interact and learn. From its wonderful and vibrant colors, spacious classrooms, well-equipped laboratories, expansive library, multiple swimming pools, and athletic venues, Universal American School plainly states the obvious. We are serious about how and where children learn.
We emphasize compassion and understanding for others as well as protecting and saving our environment. The future of our planet and the prosperity of its people will rest with our children and we must empower them with the knowledge and skills necessary for making rational and intelligent decisions.
